Cathedral |
| Beautiful example of Catalan gothic, started in 1298. The complicated facade was added very much later, in the 19th century. There is a very interesting ancient crypt and unique cloister. The crypt contains the remains of Santa Eulàlia, the first patron saint of Barcelona and the saint to whom the cathedral is dedicated; the white geese in the 14th century cloister are said to represent her purity. |
