04 · El Barri Gòtic

The Gòtic: layers of history in central Barcelona

The neighbourhood combines Roman remains, medieval buildings and later interventions. A historic street does not mean every building dates from the same period.

Traces of Roman Bàrcino

Bàrcino was founded between 15 and 13 BC. Surviving sections of its walls and the columns of the Temple of Augustus reveal part of the Roman city within today’s Gòtic neighbourhood. Historical source: Patrimoni Cultural · Bàrcino.

The cathedral through time

Construction of the Gothic cathedral began in 1298 and continued into the mid-fifteenth century. The façade was added in the late nineteenth century and the central tower was completed in 1913. The building reveals several stages of the neighbourhood’s history. Historical source: Catedral de Barcelona · Historia.

From heritage to an individual property price

When comparing Gòtic apartments, examine the individual building: condition, access, lift, light and layout. Floor area and renovation also matter. A neighbourhood average cannot replace a visit or a comparison with homes that share similar features.

What these
figures tell us

A useful comparison starts with understanding what each figure measures. Open the historical tables and read the notes accompanying each indicator.

Are these asking prices or recorded sale prices?

The market section uses averages from recorded transactions, based on notarial statistics published by the City Council. These differ from the asking prices shown on property portals.

Why do the reference dates differ?

Sales, cadastral, population register and income data are released on different schedules. Each section shows its reference period. Viewing this page today does not mean all indicators relate to the same year.

Does the average floor area cover all homes?

The sales section measures the homes that were sold. The housing stock section measures homes recorded in the cadastre. These are different populations, so their averages can differ.

What do “Suppressed” and “Not published” mean?

“Suppressed” means the source withholds the information to protect confidentiality. “Not published” means no value is available for the category and period shown. Neither expression means zero.

Can I value my home using the price per m²?

The neighbourhood average is a general reference. An individual valuation requires an assessment of the exact location, floor area, floor level, lift, natural light, condition and building characteristics, together with suitable comparable properties.
