Roman Walls

Remains of the Roman city

Via Laietana
Barcelona, Barcelona 08003

The Roman walls once completely surrounded by the Barcino settlement. They were 9 meters high and 3.5 meters thick, and stretched for 1270 meters. Most of the walls have disappeared or were used as the foundations for later buildings. The best preserved parts can be seen on Plaça de Ramon Berenguer el Gran (next to Via Laietana), on the Avenida de la Catedral, the Pia Almoina, Plaça dels Traginers, Carrer del Correu Vell and on Carrer Regomir, which led to the Roman port.
