The Born Quarter is part of the Ciutat Vella District (Old City in English) of Barcelona.

However, the area became prosperous from the 13th century when trade routes were established. During this centuries, this area was the city economical center, for that reason, the bussiness people built theirbig palaces, as you can still see on the Montcada Street.
