Planning notes for Barcelona
Barcelona is a city on the northeastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula with a history spanning over 2,000 years. Founded as the Roman colony of Barcino in 15 BC, the city retains remnants of its early defensive walls and temple columns within the Gothic Quarter. During the medieval period, specifically between the 12th and 15th centuries, the city functioned as a Mediterranean trading center, leading to the construction of the Barcelona Cathedral, the Royal Palace.
