—————————————————-
From its humble origin as a tiny roman colony of 4000 people Barcelona rose to become one of the most dynamic and exciting trading port of the late Middle Ages.
Rulers of the city would boost that no fish was allowed to swim in the Mediterranean Sea without the consent of the King of Aragon, Barcelona medieval independent kingdom.
Soon the condal city acquired a reputation for opportunity as New York would have in the XIX century: in Barcelona even a slave could have a shot to economic success through trading. In this contest a huge building spree took place and the result is today the biggest medieval area in Europe. People from all background were making the city opulent, the Jews community thrived and while the church and the crown built their cathedral, fishermen, traders and artisans proudly built the basilica de Santa Maria del Mar; the cathedral of the sea.
