    A tucked away location, but we were taken here on a free walking tour of Barcelona. Very cool to see this old old history on the tour and be told about it. Must go see, especially on a free walking tour of the city!

  • 4/5 Danny J. 4 years ago on Google
    I went here in a walking tour that explain me a lot of history about the Roman cemetery in this place so it was really interesting. If you go alone there is not much to do or see

  • 4/5 Evaldas I. 5 years ago on Google
    How tour guide expressed "It's hart of Barcelona". That's where Romans " began" Barcelona.

  • 3/5 Joe D. 2 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Daniel M. 1 year ago on Google
    Prices on menu different than charged,tax added later as well so €10 more than we expected!!! Food good but no tip

  • 2/5 Guy E. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is filled with beggars, drunks and dodgy types, some of them sleeping in the dirty garden. Look at the ancient Roman graveyard and run.

    Great location. Great hosts.

  • 3/5 Lenka O. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Latoyaa R. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place to walk by. There are roman tombs and a road that represents the traditional trade routes.

  • 3/5 Jernej L. 11 months ago on Google
    An interesting place that our tourguide showed us - otherwise I would probably not notice it. It is a bit rundown and dirty - the city could take better care of it.

  • 5/5 Osmar Gonzalez J. 10 months ago on Google
    A wonderful cafe situated in between the Gothic quarter and the shopping strip. I only had a cup of coffee so I can speak for their food. However its a wonderful place to rest and still enjoy and feel like you are in the heart of Barcelona

    Historical square in the Gothic part of the city. Nice little park and several "old rocks" :)

  • 5/5 Jie Bo T. 7 years ago on Google
    More interesting than the tombs are the different Catalan flags hung on the window ledge on the adjacent building. Each has it's own interpretation.

  • 5/5 Елена �. 6 years ago on Google
    It's the heart of Barcelona and what's more - it's the the best place in this part of the city for having a rest while wandering through this unique city
