Ciutat Vella ((:siwˈtad ˈbeʎə), meaning in English "Old City") is a district of Barcelona, numbered District 1. The name means "old city" in Catalan and refers to the oldest neighborhoods in the city of Barcelona, Spain. ''Ciutat Vella'' is nestled between the Mediterranean Sea and the neighborhood called ''l'Eixample'' (the Extension.). It is considered as the centre of the city; the ''Plaça Catalunya'' is one of the most popular meeting points in all of Catalonia. There are four administrative neighborhoods (some of them include former or traditional neighborhoods): *La Barceloneta *El Gòtic *El Raval *Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera: * *Sant Pere * *Santa Caterina * *La Ribera ==Les Rambles== (詳細はLa Rambla'' (in singular) since they are continuous, like a single street. ''Les Rambles'' stretches from ''Plaça Catalunya'' to the Mediterranean Sea and, since the 1990s, now extends out over the sea into one of Barcelona's newest centers of entertainment, ''Maremàgnum''. Each of ''Les Rambles'' has its own specialty. ''La Rambla de les Flors'' (The Flowers ''Rambla'') is devoted to flower stands, another ''Rambla'' to animal vendors (selling mainly birds), and the lowest ''Rambla'' hosts temporary art fairs. ''El Mercat de Sant Josep'' (more commonly known as ''La Boqueria'') and ''Gran Teatre del Liceu'' (the Opera House) are both located here. ''Les Rambles'' are among the most frequently travelled streets by pedestrians in Barcelona. At the bottom, there is the ''Museu Marítim'' (naval museum), which chronicles the history of life on the Mediterranean, including a full-scale model of a galley. The museum is housed in the medieval ''Drassanes'' (shipyards), where the ships that made Catalonia a great sea power in the Mediterranean were built. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ciutat Vella」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
