Tucked away in the heart of the Gothic Quarter is this lovely old church – the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar (actually there are many beautiful churches jammed in the back streets of Barcelona).

“Saint Mary of the Sea” is an imposing church, built between 1329 and 1383 at the height of Aragon kingdom’s maritime and mercantile preeminence. It is an outstanding example of Catalan Gothic, with a purity and unity of style that is very unusual in large medieval buildings.
