'Les Carasses' of the Gothic Quarter: 17th-century stone figures to indicate brothels

Barcelona has a great hidden wealth: works of art located in its streets. They are pieces by great international artists, but many times we pass by without realizing their existence. Today we travel to the Gothic Quarter to see Les Carasses, 17th-century stone figures that indicated the location of the city's brothels.
