EspañolLA RIBERA
'La Ribera' ('The Shore' in Catalan) is one of quarters of Ciutat Vella ("the old city") of Barcelona.
Many of the buildings date from late Medieval times. It was a well-to-do quarter during 13th-15th centuries, when it really was by the sea shore, and the area that today is named Barceloneta was still an island. Notable buildings are the Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar and the palaces along the career de Montcada.
Part of the quarter of La Ribera was demolished after the War of the Spanish Succession to build a military citadel to punish the defeated city.
