The Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar is another jaw dropping-ly beautiful church found in Barcelona. It seems unfair that once single city should have such a wealth of beauty, architecture & history. This church is in the Barri Gothic, Old City area and is definitely worth a visit. Most highly recommended.
We stumbled across this lovely place by accident as we were exploring the El Born district. It's well worth a visit. It's simple yet dramatic and when we stepped inside from the busy bustle of the street outside we were quite awed at the peaceful atmosphere and unexpected way the space opens up. Well worth a visit if you admire older buildings and different styles of architecture. It is an active place of worship and reflection however so please be quiet and discreet.
Beautiful carvings on the outside and ornate. Check out the ceiling stone work. Busy place so time it early. Whilst there we were ushered out without explanation.
大门坐落在一个很小的广场上,教堂本身却是一座宏伟的建筑,庄严而且朴实的建筑风格,让人感到平易近人,跟巴赛隆纳的主教堂有很大的差异!
There are so many churches to see in Barcelona, this is just one more to add to your list! It's is a big church, yet it's grand with simplicities, not the great expenditures we see in so many Catholic Churches.
Absolutely loved this building. Very simple but spectacular. Bigger on the inside! Although it is more traditional, I liked it better than many of the other grander buildings
This is an interesting maritime-community Basilica dating from 1329. The history of the place is amazing and you can find information about the locals ship-building industry. Due to destruction in the 1930s, much of the church is new/restored. This is a great example of 14th century Catalan Gothic architecture and the history of the local community. A pleasant place but it lacks the overwhelming sense of awe that you get at some of the other larger Basilicas.
海洋圣母大教堂就在哥特区附近,走路过去就几分钟,在一个小街道里,很精致漂亮,因为早上去太早,没有开门,但是外观也很美,哥特式玫瑰窗
everyone goes to Sagrada Familia...this is a beautiful cathedrale. very simple but impressive..unfortunately it is largely used for concerts which means that it is not open very often....pity
Spacious, airy, slender example of Catalan gothic. We loved it for its purity and simplicity. Come in the evening before the closure when most tourists are gone and enjoy the atmosphere of the church with red candles lit.... Leave through the door leading to Psg del Born..... Eat in the squares around the church.
