You're standing on Plaça del Rei, the King's Square, right in the heart of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter. This is the headquarters of the Barcelona City History Museum, known as MUHBA. Take a look around. The medieval royal palace, the Palau Reial Major, stands on this very square. And under your feet lies something far older: the Roman city of Barcino.
