Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic)
Here we will stroll through the picturesque narrow streets of medieval Barcelona and explore the rests of the Roman wall, the place of foundation of the city, the Cathedral and the romanesque Saint Lucia chapel among other historical sites. There we will find plenty of symbols of the medieval Operative masons (Stonemasons) as well as the additions of the more recent Speculative Masons. We will discover the meaning of those misterios signs on the buildings and learn about the acient wisdom of our ancestors, that has always been closely studied and used by the masons. On the way we will find some traces of Knights Templar, who are also considered one of possible predecessors of the modern Freemasonry.
