Basílica de Santa Maria del Mar

The Basílica de Santa Maria del Mar, located in the beautiful city of Barcelona, is one of the most stunning examples of Catalan Gothic architecture. Built from the 14th century to the early 15th century, it is renowned for its outstanding acoustics and impressive stained glass windows, making it a popular destination for music concerts. The basilica is home to valuable works of art, including the high altar and choir stalls, both of which are spectacularly decorated and crafted from wood. Photographically, the basilica offers a great range of impressive architectural features with an abundance of natural light present, making it an ideal choice for photographers. Not to be missed, the magnificent organ, built in 1748 and one of the best pieces in the basilica, is located in the second temple, above the entry. A must-visit for anyone in Barcelona.
