an archeological site that shows Barcelona in different stages from 1700 onwards, developed in a former market hall, currently a cultural center where various cultural events take place. objects, jewelry and other things that were found following the archeological excavations can be visited for the amount of 3 euros. the entrance to the hall where the archeological site is free, there is information in several languages and it is a pleasant experience if you want to know the history of the city.

I love the way this is being preserved. We didn't go on to the ruins floor as they is booking only, but by being above you can see everything. Lots of multi language information boards to read. The time we happen to walk through they were doing radar/x-ray 🤷🏻‍♂️ work.

Beautiful building. We stumbled into the cultural centre coming through El Born! Beautiful building and wow - when you walk in there is a full ruin below that you can see for free, or pay to access closer! It was incredible and such a historic piece of Barcelona! There was lots of information and history available in Cat/ Esp and Ing. We were very lucky to stumble across a concert while there- 2 amazing singers on guitar and piano and their voices echoed through the ruins and museum. Really incredible! There are also bathrooms / toilets available to the public which are kept very clean!

The building is awesome! Very very beautiful and imposing structure. When you go inside a nice surprise! You can find a huge area of the Roman Empire very well preserved! It’s free to get inside and admire these constructions. There’s a paid area, but i didn’t go inside! This is another must go place in Barcelona

What a neat center! Pristine and clean inside. Obviously a cool buildup around/atop the ruins! Informative and sleek. I’m a big fan. Bathrooms were on point as well. Was there Thursday afternoon and it was nearly empty.

An ancient restored market where the remains of the city can be sold! We went to see this beautiful exhibition in homage to the director, artist, poet and painter Federico Fellini on the occasion of the centenary of the director's birth It can be visited until January 9, 2022.

Thought provoking cultural center where you can learn about history and legacy. Tour the extremely well preserved archaelogical site to learn about daily life in 18th century Barcelona, and more....

Old beautiful market building that held a piece of history underneath. The building itself is amazing, if you add in the ruins, you have a must see! Free to visit!

The venue is free to enter and look around from the top level, we did this as we were passing and just popped in. Ended up staying for about an hour. Fascinating.

We enter just for curiousity, we were amazed by this beauty! Great space with amazing historical remains

Kind of museum of the ancient ground settlement. Interesting but not amusing. I think this kind of exhibition is more of a wasting tax payers money, because tourists don't pay for it. The entrance is free. The space is clean and quiet. Maybe for an history enthusiasts it is more exciting. You can stop here coming along, but don't worry if you miss the place.

Amazing Cultural Center on top of an excavation site of Barcelona in 1700. Worth a visit for the historical importance and excavation, very well maintained site. Entry is free but ticket to visit museum & for guided tours. Old town was well connected with canals from rivers in 1700.

What an interesting cultural centre they had these amazing costumes made up and I was drawn in and the excavation of the lower floors showing off the stonework was amazing. The costumes were amazing colourful and so detailed. The free exhibition was great loved all the historical finds which made me want to slowly look at everything. I really enjoyed looking at all the exhibits. Such a nice find.

Do yourself a big favor and go on the guided tour. Its about 90 minutes, but so worth it. Only with the guided tour, you can have special entry and tour of the archeological ruins and excavations down below. Its fascinating.

Awesome place. The foundation has old excavations of the old market. And there are always lots of events held there. When i was it was about Catalan history and oppression during 1700-1800. Must visit and outside lots of bars to choose from to get a drink. Enjoy.

The center was nice overall. A great time filler if you're in the area.

Just stumbled upon this place and so glad we decided to do the tour - 90 minutes of history and a deep dive into Barcelona’s social and political history. Totally worth the entrance fee and more. If you have time, definitely do the tour - our tour guide was super knowledgeable

Beautiful Old iron food market (supposedly was going to be) till the ruins below were found again. They built this on top with beautiful views of what the market did look like from back in the day. Free entrance (to view) though there are guided tours available to go downstairs and know more about it. Definitely worth a visit or even a stroll around while in the area.

Preserved medieval streets of Barcelona. Nice destination to drop in on your Barcelona walking tour. The whole thing is free, but you can go down into the ruins for a price. There are bathrooms inside.

If you like history and want to learn some more of the ancient Barcelona then it's worth a visit. Mostly free and accessible from the city center.

It is free to visit, audio guide is paid. Very interesting place from 17 th century, preserved houses and streets. Great explanation panels.

Great place to see and read about the history of Born and of Catalan. Free to enter and you can walk around and read about the ruins. They have a cool tour that will take you down into the ruins with a guide last about two hours. Really cool for the history buffs.

Amazing tour through the archaeological site and the exhibition. We learned a lot. Very impressive!

An interesting place to learn about Barcelona history with some remaining constructions. Free entrance every first Sunday of the month 10-20h and every Sunday evening 15-20h.

Worth a visit. Born is an interesting part of Barcelona, so if in the area, swing by and have a look. Well displayed with videos and articles to read that explains the history behind the site.

Very cool visit! The light show was strange, but mesmerizing at the same time.

Lovely place. Excellent for a privet event or photo shooting

Good place to visit and see what Barcelona was like before the Romans changed it to what we see today. Download the 3D app which shows you the wondrous place in full colour but ensure you aren't just flying through as it firstly takes time to download and secondly once engrossed you'll be there all day. Some magnificent storeys to be found here, very interesting!

Me gusta cómo han aprovechado el edificio para albergar el museo. Es interesante asomarse a la historia y ver las calles del del siglo XVIII. Además hay exposiciones por un precio muy reducido, algunas permanentes y otras temporales. Visitamos la de Perich. Muy recomendable. Siempre que vayas por el Born, acércate.

Si visita parzialmente gratis, contiene una bella area di scavi che mette in risalto l'area urbana preesistente al vecchio mercato coperto

Excelente lugar donde la historia de la barcelona de 1714 .

Nice museum of history. The attack of 11 September 1714

The born cultural centre was a lovely surprise. We didnt know about it and we discovered it during our walk. It was a nice weekend experience "going back in time" where modernism meets ancient

Very nice place to learn more the history of the city and see how it was actually like in the old times. Temporary exhibitions are also from time to time very interesting to visit.

Free entry and a nice building. Exhibition was not so interesting to me.

It’s a cute place to visit but not much to do there.

Amazing how they have created such a beautiful way for the public to access this huge part of history. Thank you

Interesting stuff, up close access to the ruins is limited due to covid. Worth a visit if you are nearby, probably not worth going out of your way to see it.

This ended up being one of my favorite tourist attractions, and I just happened to walk in on a whim. I came back twice after finding it, once to spend more time and the other to join a tour. The old Born market, a cast iron and glass masterpiece, was being excavated only to reveal ruins from the 17-18th centuries. They offer tours where you can walk through the ruins once a week in English, Spanish and Catalan.

The place is mainly known for the old city ruins, which it is underneath it and fully viewable from above plus there are also guided tours amongst the ruins and old streets.

I recomend the guided tour, is not an ancient ruin, but is a peace o history.

Whilst refurbishing the market they uncovered Roman ruins, which they have now left uncovered. Worth a visit (free) if you're near by

Great time, cool ruins and even better history lesson about Barcelona. Quick exhibits.

A quiet place to reflect and learn about areas of Barcelona. The reveal of what it was, what the history and short explanation of part of the Spanish Catalan parting. Very interesting if you like history. Beautiful building.

Good display and history of 1700s life here. Good digs with explanatory signage. Wasn't offered a guide but stumbled into that. This did allow a trip down into the ruins themselves. Worth a couple hours to visit!

Great spot to stumble upon when we were walking around! To see the ruins is free. This is something very unique about the city that you'd totally miss if you didn't know about it! We spent a good hour walking through, looking, and reading about the history. There is also a clean bathroom if you are out and about and need one!

Not crowded and very nice movie explanation inside the exposition

Very significant place to better understand the past memory of Barcelona. There are two tours one at 5pm in Spanish and another at 4:30 pm in English . Took the 5pm conducted by an extraordinary historian. He has the historical knowledge and the experience in Barcelona. He has the ability of communicating 2000 years briefly and in detail. I do strongly recommend the tour.

We are staying nearby, and have walked by numerous times….finally popped in and did the English 4pm tour. So worth it!! We walked around the balcony and read all the display signs, so when we did the tour, it tied it all together. A great Barcelona history lesson. Makes the street we are staying on even more interesting than before.

Lots of amazing history! Some parts of this site were operational all the way up until 1910.

A cool museum like space for a peak into Spanish history. This reminded me of Finding Treasures of Rome, discovering the lifestyle and how Spaniards’ daily life was like back then

It gave us literally the history of Catalan and my kids truly enjoyed the place and were amazed how that portion of the city was preserved.

Very interesting to see. It is free, if you want a tour on the site itself, you need to book the tour and pay. If you walk by, definitely take a look!

Now that's history, salute to the homeowners had to destroy their own home during the secession war 1713. Oh, the pictures are not all related to that ;-)

Old iron food market built over ancient ruins of part of early medieval Barcelona and thankfully preserved. It's very interesting and free to the main hall. Get off the R2 train at Estacio Francia and walk straight ahead, can't miss it.

Although I could not successfully download the audio guide and no staff were available to help, the whole site is well laid out with informative descriptions. The key message is that citizens can succeed in keeping their architectural heritage.

Great history found at this market. They found an ancient roman city ruins below and now preserve it as an archaeological site. To enter is free and there are a few exhitibitions that are free. But go visit the exhibit 1500 if you can very informative but it has a cost.

Very interesting place to learn about the local history. It is for free and the guided tour is only about 4€. You need at least 1 hour to digest all the information.

Interesting combo archeology and history museum - you can read about the complicated history of this section of Barcelona while looking down on an extensive excavated section of the old town

What a great way to peek into the past. Great different expositions

This is truly a magnificent place to visit and see. It's a historical site of Barcelona and really shows how the city was built in the early days before the war on Barcelona. If you are interested in history this is a very good place to visit. Enjoy your day there.... give it some time because there's a lot to see.

Interesting free “museum” about the history of Catalonia. Free public toilet inside in the East corner.

Very well restored and a nice time travel. You can see a lot of interesting details from above and a lot of plaques show the historical context and talk about what some of the buildings were or some details of life back then. Only 4 stars because I would have wished there were even more information and illustrations about mundane life and what each building was. Bringing the ruins more to life. And at the time there was an art exhibition all around the walkway that was a bit weird and very unrelated. But it's free entry and very interesting if you're into history so don't miss out if you are nearby.

A interesting place to visit, it explains the history of the site and the surrounding area. There is an exhibit that showcases the things that they excavated from the site but you will need money to view it. There is also a guided tour that allows you to enter the site itself, that will also cost you a few Euros.
