Overview

Most people walk past Roman walls every day in Barcelona without noticing them. This tour changes that permanently.

Professional musician and performer Mania leads you on a 2-hour walking concert through the Roman and medieval heart of the city: 13 stops, 13 original songs, and 2,000 years of history delivered with the energy of a live show. From the ancient gates of Porta del Mar to the Roman towers of Porta Pretoria, from a tucked-away seniors’ centre hiding a stretch of Roman wall to the strange and joyful feast of Tres Tombs every location has a story, and every story has a song.

This is Barcelona as your guidebook never told it: scholarly, hilarious, and performed live in the streets.

What to expect

  1. Muhba Porta Del Mar
    10m
    Step back into ancient Barcino at the ruins of the Porta del Mar (Sea Gate) and the Roman port baths. Mania performs a lively track that brings the bustling ancient waterfront back to life, delivering scholarly history with the energy of a live show.
  2. 5m
    Wander into this narrow, atmospheric medieval labyrinth. Guidebooks usually skip this quiet corner, but we don't. Here, a hilarious and catchy musical performance uncovers the strange, everyday stories of Barcelona's old residents.
  3. 10m
    Stand beneath the imposing Roman walls at the "Square of the Muleteers." This is the perfect backdrop for a song dedicated to the strange and joyful feast of Tres Tombs, celebrating the city's historic working class and their vibrant, centuries-old traditions.
  4. 10m
    Thousands of people walk past Tower 27 of the Roman wall every day without noticing it. We stop right in front of it. Enjoy a driving, energetic tune detailing the defensive secrets of this massive, 2,000-year-old fortification hiding in plain sight.
  5. 10m
    Discover a quiet, romantic medieval square that houses the oldest monumental water fountain in Barcelona. A beautiful original song echoes through the square here, exploring the rich, dramatic medieval past of the gothic quarter.
  6. 10m
    Pause along this bustling thoroughfare where 19th-century urban changes aggressively cut through ancient Roman and medieval layouts. The accompanying song provides a scholarly yet funny take on how Barcelona transformed and survived its own chaotic growth.
  7. Placa Del Rei
    10m
    Enter the monumental epicenter of medieval Barcelona: the square of the kings of Aragon. Experience a powerful musical performance surrounded by gothic grandeur, bringing the intense history of royalty, counts, and grand palaces to life.
  8. 10m
    Walk along the historic flanks of the magnificent Cathedral. Mania delivers an energetic song while you gaze up at the ancient stones, bizarre gargoyles, and the hidden architectural details that make the Gothic Quarter so unique.
  9. 10m
    Tucked behind the Cathedral, uncover the secrets surrounding the old royal palace. A whimsical, storytelling song highlights the bizarre and fascinating layers of history stacked upon each other in this small, resonant space.
  10. 10m
    Step into this tranquil, picturesque courtyard filled with orange trees. Relax under the medieval arches as you are treated to an acoustic performance that highlights the quirky, collector's history of the artifacts housed nearby.
  11. 15m
    Stand before the towering Gothic Cathedral and the nearby Roman towers of Porta Pretoria. An epic song captures the spiritual and architectural heart of Barcelona, blending the city's ancient Roman origins with its imposing Gothic majesty.
  12. 10m
    The grand finale! We end our walking concert under the iconic, much-photographed neo-Gothic bridge. A final, show-stopping song wraps up our journey, leaving you with a permanent new perspective on Barcelona's ancient heart.
