El Born (La Ribera)
Historic medieval merchant quarter, fashion district, and archaeological site
Flourished in the 13th and 14th centuries as Barcelona's maritime commercial gateway. Grand Gothic palaces lined Carrer de Montcada while jousts took place on the Passeig del Born.
Anchored by the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar, Gothic palaces housing the Picasso Museum, and the cast-iron Born Centre with 8,000 square meters of 1714 archaeological ruins.
The Fossar de les Moreres square marks the burial ground of citizens who fell in the Siege of 1714, burning with an eternal memorial flame.
