Le siège du Museu d'Història de Barcelona (MUHBA) sur la Plaça del Rei, cœur historique du musée depuis sa fondation en 1943, occupe un monumental ensemble médiéval du Barri Gòtic. Sous terre, les visiteurs parcourent les rues de la Barcino romaine, longent l’enceinte de la ville et découvrent des ateliers, notamment une blanchisserie-teinturerie du IIᵉ siècle, une installation de salaison du poisson et un chai, ainsi que les vestiges de l’ancien complexe épiscopal chrétien. En surface se trouvent le Palau Reial Major, le Saló del Tinell, datant du XIVᵉ siècle, et la Chapelle de Santa Àgata, qui abrite le retable de Jaume Huguet, tandis que la Casa Padellàs gothique accueille l’exposition de synthèse « Barcelona Flashback ». Le MUHBA gère également un réseau d’autres sites patrimoniaux à travers la ville, dont le Temple d’Auguste, El Call, l’abri antiaérien Refugi 307, les bunkers du Turó de la Rovira et El Born.
