City Tour: Via Laietana and the Lost Neighborhood

Join us on a journey through the illustrious history of Via Laietana, a street designed by Ildefons Cerdà and opened in 1908 after the demolition of around 2,000 homes and erasure of 80 streets from Barcelona's map. This guided tour will delve into the influential figures linked to this transformation, the funding behind the project, and the key architects involved in its construction. We will also discuss its connection with the Gothic Quarter and the definition of 'false' Gothic style, all while comparing historical images of the street’s development. Accessible to everyone, including those with mobility challenges, this tour is led by knowledgeable guide Susana Azcoita.
