    The French Quarter is the historic heart of New Orleans and is considered the city's oldest district. Its origins date back to 1718, when the first buildings were built around the central square. Today, colorful facades, wrought-iron balconies, and colonial architecture characterize the area. Many houses date back to the Spanish period. The district was designated a historic landmark in 1965 and is a tourist attraction with museums, music clubs, cafes, and vibrant street art.

      One of the main reasons to visit the city is definitely a stroll through the French Quarter, which still seems quite original and a bit out of time - very beautiful, with a lot of charm - despite the temporary crowds

        The absolute highlight of the houses in the French Quarter; it is probably one of the most popular photo motifs in the city, although there are many beautiful, old houses here
