About Cathedral of Barcelona

History buffs will love Barcelona Cathedral. Originally a Roman temple, the site was later transformed into a cathedral in the Gothic style. Construction spanned over 200 years, it began in 1298 in Catalan Gothic style, but the facade wasn't finished until the late 1800s in the Neo-Gothic style. Look for architectural details reflecting Catalan heritage. Climb the bell tower for panoramic city views
