Description

Excerpted from the website:

Some centuries ago, in the Middle Age, the Born was a boiling place: the aristocracy of Barcelona watched the tournaments from the balconies of their palaces. The word “born” means tournament, and in Catalan refers to the place where the jousts took place. The most important of them are located in Montcada street and they are used today as cultural centers, like the Picasso Museum. Formerly people walked by those streets, where civic parties like processions or carnivals took place. The famous procession of the Corpus, with kings, magicians, angels, priests, dragons, bakers, fishermen, devils, went along these narrow streets, which were at that moment the center of the city. The merchants, artisans and peasants also met in this district, because the most important markets and fairs of Barcelona. Such croudy life was due to the special situation of the Great Portal of the roman wall, in the middle of the Angel Square, a direct access to the sea. The Born was a passing place for merchants arriving from anywhere in order to embark their products or pick up those that arrived from outside.
