Work began in the 13th century and the building took centuries to finish, which is why it mixes several periods. The nave is very tall and light, with a large rose window over the high altar. In the 20th century the architect Antoni Gaudí reworked part of the interior, and the artist Miquel Barceló later decorated one of the chapels. The visit covers the church, and the cathedral museum is a separate part of the building.
What to look for
- The very tall nave and its slim columns
- The large rose window
- Gaudí's work around the high altar
- The view of the façade from Parc de la Mar
