| 2 mins read
Barcelona is steeped in history and stunning architecture and a city that is a cosmopolitan urban center known for its throbbing youthful energy and stellar architecture. In addition to the copious Roman remains, the city is home to handfuls of Churches and Cathedrals. Very modern yet incredibly old, the city manages to preserve and celebrate its ancient elements while showcasing new developments simultaneously. With an extensive and reliable public transportation system, even places to visit that are relatively far from the historical section are easily accessible.
Let’s talk about the prominent architecture:
“Sagrada Familia” is considered one of the most famous churches in the world. The Sagrada Familia sits proudly on the Barcelona skyline. This architecturally stunning building was first designed, and construction began back in 1882, but it has yet to be finished.
“Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar” This incredible church was built between 1329 and 1383, and the building is a stunning feat of Gothic construction. It is one of the most visited spots in the city.
“Cathedral of Barcelona” This Gothic-Style Cathedral is the seat of the Archbishop of Barcelona, and its distinguished Gothic style is a sight that shouldn’t be missed. The cathedral that you see today was built over the old cathedral in the 13th century. Every year around Christmas time, the square outside of the building is host to a spectacular Christmas street market, full of food and music.
