Hi, I'm Alyson, your personal guide. Together with MyWoWo, I'd like to welcome you to one of the wonders of the world.
Today I'll accompany you through Plaça del Rei, which is the heart of medieval Barcelona.
This rectangular square is a perfect example of Catalan Gothic style and was formerly the home of the Palace of Barcelona's counts and the sovereigns of Aragon.
The buildings that face it belong to the Royal Palace complex and are, for the most part, occupied by MUHBA, the Barcelona City History Museum. MyWoWo will accompany you on a tour of the museum later, where you'll cover a thousand years of the city's history from its foundation attributed to Emperor Augustus up to the Middle Ages....
