The Old Quarter in Barcelona unveils the history of the city, with narrow and labyrinthine streets, tiny squares and historic yards that feature a unique architecture and enchant their visitors.
Among chiseled lintels and gargoyles observing everyone’s steps, there is the old Jewish Quarter, as well as remains of the Roman Barcino surrounding the cathedral of the city.
The streets of the Gothic Quarter mirror important moments in history, making reference to the great basilica, like Bisbe (bishop), Pietat (mercy) and Paradís (heaven). These three streets feature a group of buildings called La Casa dels Canonges.
This architectural whole dates back to the 14th century and has been affected by a renovation project by Joan Rubió i Bellver, which highlights the details of the neighbourhood itself.
Here is where Oi Real Estate introduces its really emblematic historic building, located on Paradís Street in Barcelona.
Characteristics of the property
This is a huge historic building, situated in the heart of the Gothic Quarter. The property features characteristics of the city of Barcelona, as it was 600 years ago.
It has a total area of 1725 m2, distributed into 5 levels, with two apartments on each floor and a fantastic attic with terrace on its upper level.
The distribution on every floor is similar, with an accurate combination between traditional materials and plenty of natural light. Once in, the attention is drawn directly to a splendid dining-living room.
The traditional Catalan vaulted ceiling, the wooden beams and the exposed stone walls are merged with appropriate furniture, including contemporary and traditional pieces with a modern air, thus resulting in a comfortable environment.
This huge room can also be enjoyed from its balcony, from which it is possible to see the Cathedral.
Its outside walls in grey contrast with the interior walls in white, which make the spaces more bright.
A few metres away, there is a modern fully-equipped kitchen, which also continues with the magical combination between history and comfort.
A bit further, there are comfortable bedrooms with a minimalist touch, where the main characters are the exquisite furniture and the amazing views. The warm lighting and walls are also present in bathrooms and bedrooms suites on each of the apartments.
If we see each floor of this wonderful building, we will discover all its particular details.
On the first floor, there are two apartments of 125 m2 each, perfectly distributed in 3 double bedrooms, 2 fully-equipped bathrooms, plus a toilet, apart from a spacious dining-living room and an independent kitchen.
On the second, third, forth and fifth floors, the rest of the apartments are quite similar to the ones on the first one. They have an area of 110 m2, with 2 double bedrooms, 2 fully-equipped bathrooms, a huge dining room and a modern independent kitchen.

From this attic, you can access the magnificent terrace of the building, with an area of 60 m2, an authentic viewpoint of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter.
Each apartment of this historic building has heating and air conditioning systems, apart from isolation from cold and noise. The building also has intercom and lift.
Typical details of centenary properties can be found in this historic building, like the floors made of natural wood, which complement the design of the Gothic Quarter.
The Gothic Quarter mirrors the triology by novelist Carlos Ruiz Zafón (The shadow of the Wind, The Angel’s Game and The Prisoner of Heaven). This traditional spot is located near Plaça Sant Jaume and Plaça Catalunya, the administrative and commercial centres of the city of Barcelona, respectively.
