MUHBA<\/strong><\/a> (free entry, open Mon, Wed, Sat 7:30am – 3:30pm; Tue, Thur, Fri 7:30am – 8:30pm).<\/p>\nYou may be fortunate enough to see archaeology in action around the city. For example, during the pedestrianisation of the Carrer de la Tapineria (leading from the Gothic Cathedral to the Via Laietana), archaeologists have been hard at work searching for cultural treasures before the area is paved over. Although the work is due for completion soon, you may still see some excavations taking place before the final pavement is laid. In Barceloneta, excavation of the 16th-Century Baluard de Migdia <\/em>(South Bastion) is taking place. The bastion was built to protect the city from the ravages of the sea\u00a0and is now being uncovered in what is to become another public space from which to view the city of the past. The site is located close to the Barceloneta Metro station\u00a0and is due to be open to the public this month (May 2016).<\/p>\nIf you take the time to visit any of the sites listed above, you will gain an appreciation of how the modern city has been built upon ancient foundations. This guide presents just a snapshot of the archaeological treasures to be found in Barcelona and the surrounding area. Why not explore further for yourself, and discover more?<\/p>\n
