Famous for its lively community, artistic and cultural influences still play a major role in the way the locals live. During the day, cafes are filled with tourists and locals, while at night, the Passeig de Born comes alive, with bars that are rumored to serve mind-blowing mojitos. There’s a little bit of something for everyone in El Born, whether you’re here for the shopping or to learn more about the culture of this interesting city.

Designed by architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner, this castle was constructed between 1887 and 1888 and served as a restaurant and café for the 1888 World's Fair. It combines modern, Gothic, and Moorish influences, and the three towers resembling dragons give it its name and appearance. Since 1930, it has been part of the Barcelona Zoological Museum. Animal enthusiasts visiting this castle can also explore the Barcelona Zoo located within the park.
