General Guidelines

Barcelona has a rich and fascinating history that spans over two thousand years. Founded as a Roman City known as Barcino in the 1st century BC, Barcelona began as a small settlement with fortified walls, traces of which can still be seen today in the Gothic Quarter. Following the fall of the Roman Empire, the city came under Visigothic and later Moorish influence before becoming a key center of the Carolingian Empire.

During the Middle Ages, Barcelona emerged as a major maritime power in the Mediterranean and became the capital of the Crown of Aragon. This period marked significant economic growth, cultural development, and architectural expansion, with many churches, palaces, and public buildings constructed. The city played an important role in trade, politics, and arts across Europe.

In the modern era, Barcelona transformed into an industrial and cultural hub, particularly during the 19th and 20th centuries. The Catalan Modernism movement, led by Antoni Gaudí, reshaped the city’s architectural identity. Today, Barcelona stands as a global city known for innovation, education, healthcare, and international collaboration, while proudly preserving its historical roots and cultural traditions.
