Barcelona - The Cathedral

The construction of the Barcelona Cathedral began in 1298 and is one of the city’s major landmarks. The Gothic Cathedral rises up impressively from main plaza surrounded by narrow streets. To get a really good view of this huge feat of architectural genius, you’ll need to stand right back at the end of the Plaza to drink it all in. The interior is equally as stunning, with two aisles lined by soaring Gothic pillars. There is an upper gallery and two octagonal bell towers. The peaceful atmosphere inside the cathedral is really quite awe-inspiring and definitely worth a look-in.
