If you’re in El Born, stop at this free cultural space and prepare to step back in time. You’ll discover an archeological site that lets you imagine what life in Barcelona was like in the late 17th century. Take a look at the old city streets and buildings that survived the infamous siege on September 11th, 1714, when the city of Barcelona fell during the War of Spanish Succession. Today, this date is known as La Diada, Catalonia’s National Day.
