Churches
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.
Antònia, 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.
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 church in the Plaça d"Orfila in the Sant Andreu district stands on the site of a 10th- century Romanesque church.
This natural park, which emerges as if from a dream, protects the spiritual essence of Catalonia. For almost 1,000 years, a
Benedictine community has lived in these mountains located 60 km away from Barcelona. Their Basilica houses the serene image of the
Virgin of Montserrat, the patron saint of Catalonia.
