In Barcelona's Gothic Quarter - the historic center of the city, where most of the buildings and streets have historical significance - there is a small park, known as the area of ​​Ramon Berenguer the Great. This square is named after the Count Ramon Berenguer III, who ruled from 1096 by 1131. Ramon Berenguer III belonged to the same dynasty as the Count Ramon, who in 1058 on the ruins of the basilica in Barcelona laid the Romanesque cathedral.

On the square stands the majestic equestrian statue of Barcelona's famous Count Ramon Berenguer the Great, which was engaged in the erection of the famous architect Josep Limon. The biggest attraction of the area is the ancient Roman wall beginning of the IV century AD, which serves as the foundation for the elegant and austere church - the chapel of St. Agatha.

Chapel of St. Agatha, the building of Gothic architecture, built in the fourteenth century, was part of the royal palace. Its octagonal bell tower ends with eight triangular pediments and recalls royal crown. Chapel of St. Agatha is now part of the Museum of History of Barcelona.

The preserved fortress tower has long blended in later buildings, and up to the mid-twentieth century to the Roman wall literally been pasted homes. By 1950, the Roman walls parted with their tenants, and the area of ​​Ramon Berenguer the Great acquired its present form.
