This is another very interesting neighbourhood of Barcelona. It is the most important medieval neighbourhood in the city.
In this "barrio" you will find some of the coolest bars, restaurants and boutiques. Its narrow streets in the form of a labyrinth make it a “must” when you visit Barcelona. A walk through will make you feel you have stepped back in history. Together with El Barrio Gótico, El Born forms the antique city of Barcelona.

El Born contains some amazing pieces of architecture such as El Palau de la Música – one of the most beautiful examples of the Catalán Modernism. This great palace built by arquitech Lluís Domènech i Montaner is well known for its facade decorated with mosaics.
In El Born you will also find the Picasso Museum – probably “The” museum to visit in the city, for the artist and for the building.
Another fascinating building is the church of Santa Maria del Mar – this is a Catalán gothic style church from fourteenth century. It was built on top of the chapel of Santa María de las Arenas from year 998. Berenguer de Montagud initiated the project in 1328, which was finished half a century after.
El Born is the most sophisticated neighbourhood in the city – come and enter this enchanting labyrinth full of magic, history and beauty.
The clubs and bars tend to be a little more relaxed than the ones by the port. If you fancy a cocktail or even dance until the morning, El Born is the place to be.
