The Gòtic Quarter remained intact until the 19th century, but as of that moment, the development and growth of the city led to the remodeling of the structure to what we know today. Until 1900, the predominant architecture in the neighborhood was the Baroque and Renaissance because many buildings that had originally been Gothic were transformed.
