Roman Barcino and Museu d'Història de la Ciutat de Barcelona Field Trip

My class and I went to Barrio Gotico and the Museu d'Historia de la Ciutat de Barcelona on our first class field trip . We explored remnants from ancient Rome throughout the Roman Barcino area and the museum had an amazing underground exhibition showing many Roman ruins. Even though it was forbidden to take pictures, I was still able to shadily take some with my digital camera. It was extremely interesting for me as a History Major and History buff to see actualy Roman ruins from thousands of years ago. Xavi gave us details about different Roman ruins throughout the area and the museum, including how the people of Barcelona used to excel in making wine, the Temples they built (including the remains of the temple of Augustus), and the different forms of pottery they made. I have included a picture of our class outside in Placa del Rei with Roman era buildings in the background and one picture I took underground in the museum of Roman columns and ruins.
