Explore the grand Barcelona Cathedral, a monument that seamlessly blends spirituality with Gothic
architecture in the heart of the city. Built on the remains of an ancient Roman basilica, the cathedral,
also known as the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia, the patron saint of Barcelona, is a
fascinating testament to the history of Barcelona. Its construction began in the 13th century and
spanned several centuries, culminating in the 19th century with the completion of the main facade. The
mix of architectural styles, from Gothic to Neo-Gothic, highlights the cathedral's long and complex
history.
Delve into the most intriguing corners of the cathedral, such as the Cloister, an oasis of tranquility
surrounded by columns adorned with sculptures. Discover the chapel dedicated to Saint Lucia, where it
is believed that light enters miraculously. The presence of 13 geese in the courtyard symbolizes the 13
years of Saint Eulalia's life, who was martyred at an early age.
