Centre Cívic Convent de Sant Agustí - The Convent of Sant Agustí Vell began to be built in 1349, but due to the construction of the Fortress of the Ciutadella, the Augustinians had to abandon the place and between 1728 and 1750 created the new convent with its church.
Most of the old convent today houses the Ciutat Vella Civic Centre, the Barcelona Photographic Archive and the Chocolate Museum.
The Gothic Convent of San Agustín el Viejo conserves elements of the old convent, such as a wing of the sanctuary that was restored and a lateral part of the church.

Had enough of rushing through your vacations? Do you feel overwhelmed when on holiday? Our Slow Tour is an invitation to enjoy the experience of uncovering local customs, diet, and heritage in the most authentic manner imaginable. Unearth gems that only locals are privy to. We invite you to explore a section of Ciutat Vella, the city’s heart and oldest core, and one of Barcelona’s most stunning locales.
Ciutat Vella was founded on the remnants of Roman Barcino and medieval Barcelona contributed to the birth of churches and Gothic palaces, which in turn led to the erasure of most of the Roman remains. The district’s intricate labyrinth of medieval alleyways creates an ideal setting for a leisurely exploration of the city center, basking in the remnants of its illustrious history.
