Roman Wall - Free Audio Guide

The Roman Wall of Barcelona, a National Cultural Heritage site, is a remarkable remnant of the city's ancient history. Built in the late Roman period (3rd-4th centuries), it originally formed an elongated octagon, standing 9 meters high with a perimeter of 1,220 to 1,350 meters. Visitors can explore significant sections of the wall, including the well-preserved towers and the Porta Praetoria. The site is accessible, with parts visible in the Museum of the History of the City underneath Plaça del Rei. Admission typically includes access to the museum and surrounding archaeological remains. The wall serves as a testament to the growth of Barcelona from its Roman origins, reflecting the city's rich cultural heritage.
