Barcelona is also home to stories connected to religious beliefs, possessions and ritual practices that formed part of the city’s past for centuries. This themed walking tour offers a historical and cultural perspective on exorcisms through documented accounts, real figures and locations associated with these ceremonies.
The experience begins near the Arc de Triomf, where the guide will introduce the concept of Satan within Christian tradition, the meaning of possession and the role of exorcisms in the Catholic Church. As the route progresses, you will learn how these rituals were performed and which conditions were required for their approval.
During the walk, you will hear stories connected to individuals believed to be possessed as well as the religious figures who carried out these rites in Barcelona. One of the best-known names linked to this history is Mossèn Jacint Verdaguer, the Catalan poet and priest whose involvement in exorcisms caused major controversy during his lifetime.
The guide will also explain the Roman rituals authorised by the Holy See and the popular beliefs that have surrounded these practices over the centuries. Historical context and lesser-known stories accompany the route through several parts of the city connected to these traditions.
Night-time streets, unsettling accounts and locations associated with these episodes create a different perspective on Barcelona’s heritage. Before the tour ends, a final surprise adds an unexpected touch to this unusual evening experience.
