Nine stops from the Roman gate of Bàrcino to Santa Maria del Mar, each opening with a 360° panorama: the walk through a medieval quarter that was largely assembled in the twentieth century, out of stones carried here from streets that no longer exist.

A walk about who builds, rebuilds and maintains the crossings a city on water cannot live without. Our digital walk for the European Heritage Days 2026 (26-27 September).
