About this tour

Discover the Cathedral of Barcelona, officially known as the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia, on a guided tour. Admire the Gothic architecture, learn about the history of the cathedral, and enjoy panoramic views of Barcelona from the rooftop.

Begin your journey at the Cathedral of Barcelona, a masterpiece of Catalan Gothic architecture and one of the most important religious landmarks in the city. As you approach, admire its majestic façade, adorned with intricate stone carvings, towering spires, and grand archways that have stood for centuries.

Your guide will introduce you to the rich history of the cathedral, which dates back to the 13th century, though its foundations go even further to Roman and Visigothic times. Learn about its namesake, Saint Eulalia, a young martyr whose remains rest in the cathedral’s crypt. Hear fascinating stories of her legacy and how she became one of Barcelona’s patron saints.

Step inside and be mesmerized by the high-vaulted ceilings, stunning stained-glass windows, and an elaborate Gothic choir stall, each telling a story of devotion and artistry. Visit the cloister, a peaceful oasis home to 13 white geese, symbolizing Saint Eulalia’s age at the time of her martyrdom.

Throughout the tour, uncover the cathedral’s hidden details, legends, and artistic influences, making this an unforgettable journey into the heart of Barcelona’s spiritual and architectural heritage.
