El Born

It is an old district of Barcelona. Now it is a fashion district , there are many shops, a lot of nightlife, many people walking in the street and many restaurants.

There is a very pretty gotic church, Santa Maria del Mar, also called "The sea cathedral". This place is near the city centre. In the last century it had an important and big market but now it is closed but the structure is conservate.The steets are very narrow and the flats are very cheap and old.
