Catedral de la Santa Creu i Santa Eulàlia
Description
Began in the 1st Century as a chapel, the construction of the present Gothic temple was initiated in 1928. The 16th-century crucifix of the Christ of Lepanto, the crypt of Santa Eulàlia, the patron saint of Barcelona, and the neighborhood Claustro (cloister) are all appreciated by art historians. Catedral de la Santa Creu i Santa Eulàlia or Cathedral of Barcelona is truly a sight to marvel.
The facade of the cathedral was under construction when I was there. But I did go inside and it was really nice. A typical European Cathedral. Very richly ornamented inside.
I just love it becuase it is a gods creation ever had made. i just went with tour guide.it is good and i have been to it. It is just the famous landmarks in Spain.
This place is so spectacular that I have to say that it is a "must seen" in Barcelona. It is still under construction now, but it is amazing already. Make sure you take the stairs (sorry, I don't recall how many steps, but a lot for sure) inside the tower. That is a good execrise with a good view.
The Catedral must be awesome, too bad you cant see it!It´s covered up so you can´t really apreciate it; It´s also supposed to be free, but they charged us a 4Euro "donation"...
