Santa maria del mar - This church is remarkable because it was the fishermen of the town that helped establish and build the church in an era when the catholic church was more or less responsible and had the resources to build churches.
Placa de la llana is one of the many streets in the area that used to be occupied by the guilds of the medieval times and were therefore named after them. In this case, llana translates in english to 'Wool', which means that this street was mostly occupied by the workers/guilds using wool.
What's neat about Santa Caterina is that it is a market that not only has most of its original architecture still in place, but also has some roman ruins underneath it!
These are walls from roman times that have been painted...but the paint is bad for the wall because it doesn't let it breathe!
