Cathedral

This cathedral, located in the heart of the Old City, can sometimes be pushed to the side when being compared to La Sagrada Familia. However, it really is a masterpiece of architecture and history, given that it’s history started in the 1200s! The only thing that remains from its original structure is the baptistry. In total, it took 6 centuries of work to finish this cathedral. It is a blend of different architectural styles, but with Gothic being the primary. There are 29 chapels inside, and a cloister dedicated to Barcelona’s patron saint, Santa Eulàlia, who was martyred when she was 13.
