Remember to come to the Barcelona Cathedral

In Barcelona, besides visiting the Sagrada Familia, you can also check out the Barcelona Cathedral. The echoing hymns in the hall and the super cool bell sounds from the top are totally worth the 14 euros! 🤑 ⛪️The Barcelona Cathedral was initially built during the 13th to 15th centuries, the heyday of Barcelona. Its main structure is a classic Gothic architectural style, with slender lines, towering spires, and pointed arch windows and doors, all typical Gothic elements. 📸At the same time, the dome and internal structure of the cathedral showcase the characteristics of the New Gothic style, making the entire building even more rich and colorful, retaining the essence of traditional Gothic while integrating new design elements. 📸The exterior of the church is mainly decorated with stone carvings and reliefs, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship and a variety of patterns, including Christian symbols like crosses and doves, as well as vivid decorations like gargoyle monsters, lizards, snakes, and newts. 📸Inside, the dim stone construction is offset by beautifully decorated art, including murals, sculptures, and gold and silver utensils. The prayer area in the center of the church is surrounded by golden chests, highlighting the church’s splendor and sanctity. Most importantly, the roof of the cathedral is open to visitors. On the annual festival day, the bishop of Barcelona performs a ceremony at the top of the church, ringing bells that can be heard throughout the city. The rooftop walkway leads from the mountains to the sea, offering an experience that perfectly replicates the game “Assassin’s Creed” up there! ⚔️ Additionally, the Colon Hotel Rooftop, directly opposite the church, is a great place to leisurely enjoy afternoon tea and capture the view of the cathedral’s facade. No reservation needed, just head up to the seventh floor, and it’s affordable! 🎉🎉 #ArchitecturalDesign #AestheticAccumulation #OneCityOnePavilion #Spain #Barcelona #Church #BeautyOfAncientBuildings #Travel #RecorderOfARomanticLife #WorldCulturalHeritage
