Tour description

Welcome to the Roman History Walking Tour of Barcelona! During this exciting journey, we will explore some of the most emblematic corners that bear witness to the legacy of ancient Barcino .

Our first stop will be the Via Sepulcral Romana , a place of eternal rest for the city's ancient inhabitants. This road connects us directly with Barcelona's funerary past, revealing the importance that death had for society.

We will continue our walk towards Plaza Nova , where we will be greeted by one of the four main entrances to the ancient Roman Barcino and then we will go towards Plaza Ramon Berenguer where the ancient wall will await us.

Our next destination takes us to the Plaza de los Traginers , where we will tell you about its commercial and social importance. We will continue our tour towards the Porta de Mar , an ancient gate in the Roman wall that marked the entrance to the city from the sea.

We will head to Plaça Sant Jaume, where the forum was located, which was the political and religious heart of the city in Roman times. We will see its ruins at the MUHBA, as well as the original columns of the Temple of Augustus.

Our next stop will take us to the Domus de Sant Honorat , where we can enter an authentic Roman house and discover how its inhabitants lived more than two thousand years ago.

Finally, after a 2-hour walk, we will conclude our tour at the Plaza Real.
