The old Barcino is still visible in the streets of the city, but it is also inside some buildings. A small tour of Old Town makes time travel possible, up to 2,000 years ago, when Barcelona was a small Roman colony and strengthened through a wall that endures despite the years.
Street Avignon Ramblers Association Ethnography and Folklore (AEEF) is the only place in which you can enter the wall between the fortress built in the first century BC to delimit the city and built in the fourth century AD more robust defense. In the Middle Ages it was common to make openings in the wall and remove the debris that filled the space between the two walls to expand housing.
Thus, through the AEEF can access the inside of the towers 52 and 53 of the fortification and even sat with them, because there are tables, chairs and a fireplace. One of the club members, Alfred Llorea, began to crush the wall in 1957 because he suspected would find the wall. The works were finished in 1987, and currently the site can be visited on weekdays (except Thursdays) from 19 to 21 hours, making a reservation.
