8. Royal Palace of Pedralbes & Barcelona History Museum
The
Museu d'Història de la Ciudat
, also known as the History Museum of the City, lays
out the rich history that is woven through the streets of Barcelona. Perhaps the most impress-
ive draw to this historic site is the lower level of the building, where guests can view the
remains of the city from a time when it was under the control of the Romans. The archae-
ological site encompasses an area of more than 43,000 square feet. Walkways allow for an
exploration of each area of this uncovered city.
The Palau Padellàs houses the museum, with multiple floors telling more than 2,000 years
of the story of Barcelona.
Open six days a week, and closed on Mondays, the Museu d'Historia de la Ciudat is an
amazing site that is a treat for history buffs, and for those interested learning more about the
vibrant city that Barcelona has become today.
