Not very far from the chapel I showed yesterday is the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia; it is the church of Barcelona's Archbishop. It is located in the Barri Gothic district. The present church began in 1298 and only completed in 1460.
Within the cathedral there is one nave and behind the altar there are 15th century stained glass windows. Down the sides of the nave are 28 chapels where you can see the tombs of prominent figures in Barcelona history including Count Ramon Berenguer I. The crypt beneath the church altar holds the sarcophagus of Santa Eulalia, Barcelona's patron saint. Around the enclosed choir are reliefs which tell the tale of Saint Eulalia's life. It is possible to take an elevator to the church roof for great views across the city. We didn’t take this option having already been on the Christopher Columbus monument.
Many thanks for your views, comments, and FAV’s. They are very much appreciated.
