Barcelona Cathedral

The Barcelona Cathedral is also known as the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia, the co-patron saint of Barcelona, and a young virgin who is said to have suffered martyrdom during Roman times. Her body is entombed in the cathedral’s crypt.

Located in Barcelona’s Gothic quarter, the Cathedral is famous for the gargoyle sculptures at the top of its towers, the Gothic cloister constructed between the 13th and 14th century and housing 13 white geese (as Saint Eulalia was 13 years old when she was murdered), the Choir with a beautiful set of carved wooden chairs, and the rooftop where visitors can see the Cathedral’s towers. It is also the seat of the Archbishop of Barcelona.
