In the old quarter,near the cathedral, there is a small square called Plaça del Rei. Here
the king and queen of Spain, Ferdinand and Isabella, met Columbus when he returned
from the Americas. In a picturesque narrow
street in the old town stands a Gothic palace
that houses the Picasso Museum. Picasso lived
in Barcelona for many years, and the museum
contains collections of the artist's paintings and
drawings arranged in chronological order.
