Barcelona has a long and interesting history<\/a>, stretching back many decades. The city, as it’s seen today, may appear modern to someone unfamiliar with its legacy, but almost everything that we know as Barcelona today was built on top of a once small, much older city, with its roots in Roman times<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

People first came to this area over 5000 years ago<\/strong>, during the Neolithic period. The first modern settlers were the Laietani, an Iberian people who formed the city of\u00a0Barkeno<\/strong> in the 2nd century BC. The name “Barcelona” is believed to be derived from this original name. 200 years later, under the reign of Caesar Augustus<\/strong>, a conquest was completed, and the area was settled by the Romans<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
