Museu d'Historia de Barcelona - MUHBA
In the heart of Barcelona in the famous Gothic Quarter on King's Square stands a colorful palace of the 15th century - the House of Clarian Paideias.

Avigno Street is a pleasant narrow street in the Gothic Quarter. The spirit of romance, many hospitable designer shops.

In almost any building there was a brothel, and the air was saturated with the intoxicating aroma of the forbidden.
