Churches
Catedral de la Santa Creu i Santa Eulàlia watches impassively the passing of time in a constantly moving and changing Barcelona. The Cathedral also reflects the different generations who have left their imprint and the blend of architectural styles in this predominantly Gothic building which needs to be viewed inside in order to fully understand its splendour.
The Sagrada Família is Antoni Gaudí"s best-known work and has become an undisputed symbol of Barcelona. This unique modern temple has been under construction since 1882.
The basilica of Santa Maria del Mar in Barcelona, also known as the "cathedral of La Ribera", is one of the most perfect examples of Gothic style architecture due to its harmonious proportions and the serenity of the ensemble.
the biggest of the six bells that crown the octagonal belfry of the
church of Santa Maria del Pi can be heard ringing out all around Barcelona"s Gothic Quarter. We can now take a closer look at the church of Santa Maria, which nestles between the picturesque squares, the Plaça del Pi and Plaça Sant Josep Oriol.
Tradition has it that this is
Barcelona"s oldest church. Whether this is true or not, it is clear that this 14th-century building stands in one of the
Gothic Quarter"s most charming and least explored spots. Another example of the splendour of the city in the medieval era.
