Discover with your students the Roman and Medieval Barcelona

The guided tour of Roman and Medieval Barcelona will enable your students to learn more about these two key periods, through the archaeological and architectural heritage that survives in many parts of the city.

Come and discover the city of Barcelona, whose origins date back to the 1st century BC, when the Emperor Augustus founded the colony Iulia Augusta Faventia Paterna Barcino. Your students can be guided through the remains of the ancient Roman colony, still visible in the town.

Our itinerary begins at the monumental complex of the Plaza del Rey, perfect for learning more about the city as it was in the early centuries.

Let us guide you from the Roman Barcino to the Condal City…

During your tour, you’ll learn about the history of Barcelona, which became Ciudad Condal during the Middle Ages. It was the main seat of power in ancient Catalonia, where intense commercial activity began. Our itinerary will take you past the magnificent Gothic buildings that bear witness to the past of this powerful and extensive Barcelona.

Our educational tour will take you through the major stages in the city’s development, to help you understand how it evolved. Our guide will show you how the Barcelona gained in political and commercial importance and developed rapidly.

You will relive Barcelona’s passage into the hands of the Council of the Hundred and the start of intense maritime trading activity. With this expansion came urban growth. Our guide will show you the new walls that were built, incorporating new districts, churches, civil buildings and new constructions that are still preserved today.
