About MUHBA Plaça del Rei
Barcelona's history museum takes you underground to walk through excavated Roman streets and houses. Above ground, explore the medieval royal palace where Columbus supposedly met the Catholic Monarchs after returning from America. The combination of Roman ruins and medieval halls makes this unique.
Insider Tips
Your ticket includes free entry to several other MUHBA sites around the city for 48 hours—save it to visit the Sant Pau del Camp monastery or Casa de l'Ardiaca.
