Basílica de Santa María del Mar

Huge basilica in a beautiful plaza. It is free to get in (after 5pm for sure and maybe all the time).

You can walk from the apartment to this beautiful cathedral. The most beautiful in the city!!

This elegant 14th-century church will take your breath away. Don’t be put off by the somewhat austere exterior – the basilica inside is similarly sparse but simply spellbinding. The church is constructed in the Catalan Gothic style; a three-nave structure with the side naves half the width of the central one. Aim to visit on a Sunday – if you’re lucky, you might catch a wedding ceremony being performed inside. There are also concerts that take place here regularly (check the schedule in advance for full details).

At short distance by foot, you will find one of the most beautiful Gothic church of Europe, its unique proportions, exterior perspective, interior lights, like the streets and the life around in the picturesque Born, an area full of art and artists like history.

A beautiful example of gothic architecture. This basilica is truly a testament to the ingenuity of the engineers. The way the medieval neighborhood grew up around the church almost makes it feel constrained on the outside. But through the masterful design it is spacious and filled with light once you enter
