With attractions such as the charming lizard fountain and a museum resembling a gingerbread house from Hansel and Gretel, it has become a major tourist spot in Barcelona.

The Gothic Quarter, located in the heart of Barcelona's old town, is a historic area that serves as a museum in itself with its medieval alleys preserved into modern times. The area includes medieval buildings as well as Roman-era city walls, showcasing its extensive history.
