69/365: Mercat del Born

Today known as Born Cultural Center hides beneath its foundations, part of the history of the city of Barcelona from the Romanesque period. After the War of Succession of 1714, a citadel was built under the old district of "La Ribera" which was demolished and neighbors forced to move. The Citadel was almost completely demolished in the late nineteenth century, to give way to the Mercat del Born. It worked as a market nearly a century after its construction in 1878. This gave the baton to the Cultural Centre that exists today and which coexists with the ruins of the old district of La Ribera demolished.
