Lonely Planet review for Carrer de Montcada
An early example of town planning, this medieval high street was driven down towards the sea from the road that in the 12th century led northeast from the city walls. It would, in time, become the snootiest address in town for the city’s merchant class. The bulk of the great mansions that remain today date to the 14th and 15th centuries, although they were often tampered with later. This area was the commercial heartland of medieval Barcelona.
