The Roman walls of Barcelona are an archaeological and monumental ensemble of fortifications built to defend the Roman settlement of Barcino between the 1st century BC and the 4th century AD. Located in the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona's oldest district, Ciutat Vella, these remains represent a crucial phase in the city's ancient urban development. Designated a Cultural Asset of National Interest by the Catalan government and registered as a Bien de Interés Cultural by Spanish heritage authorities, the walls stand as tangible evidence of Roman military architecture and city planning in Hispania, their surviving sections woven into the medieval urban fabric that developed around them over subsequent centuries.
