The Born district is filled with lots of amazing things. One of the most attractive, and my personal favorite church in Barcelona, is the Santa Maria del Mar. This was considered a working man's sanctuary and fit the theme of the old Gothic/Born area. The ceilings were high and the church was spacious. The beauty is more in the architecture and simplicity as opposed to other European style churches that are more "glamorized."
The best part of Born is getting lost through the small ancient streets. During the tour I noticed things I never have before, such as the horse crossing street signs. It is hard to picture navigating a horse through these tiny streets in the past!
