Uncover Raval’s Past on Foot
Begin your journey in the heart of Barcelona at Plaça de Castella. Led by a knowledgeable local guide, you’ll delve into the Raval neighborhood, an area long known for its vibrant character and intriguing stories. Experience narrow medieval streets where history and contemporary life intermingle in a fascinating display of old and new.
Journey Through Time and Legends
Your tour starts near the church of Sant Pere Nolasc Mercedaris, setting the scene for an exploration of Raval’s layered past. Moving through winding alleyways, you’ll see the Casa de la Misericordia, which sheltered Barcelona’s needy and outcasts for centuries, and feel the echoes of the city’s often turbulent history.
The legend of the Vampiress of the Raval—a notorious figure steeped in local folklore—awaits you among the historic buildings. The neighborhood’s tales come alive as your guide shares stories of crime, resilience and transformation. Along the route, visit the imposing Royal Academy of Medicine, once the Hospital of la Santa Creu, and discover how its ancient walls have witnessed remarkable events through the ages.
Discover Ancient Sights and Modern Art
Pass the Monastery of Sant Pau del Camp, a Romanesque church with a legacy stretching back over a thousand years. Your guide will recount the monastery’s dramatic history and its role in shaping Raval’s character. Nearby, the former Chinese District tells stories of immigration and evolving identities, adding further layers to the area’s multicultural heritage.
The tour will also take you to the Three Chimneys Park, an emblem of industrial change, and you’ll experience Raval’s artistic pulse as you encounter creative street art. The district’s graffiti and murals are constantly refreshed—adding an ever-changing backdrop to your explorations. If fortune favors, you might spot local artists at work, capturing the creative climate of the neighborhood firsthand.
