Some churches in Barcelona
This page shows photographs of some of the churches of the city. Apart from the Sagrada Familia, which deserves separate treatment, we begin with what is perhaps best known by both locals and tourists in general: Santa Maria del Mar, Gothic church located in the district of La Ribera. It is one of the most visited city in part because of the novel "The Cathedral of the Sea" a great bestseller by Ildefonso Falcones which has been translated into several languages. Here there are eleven photographs of the interior and exterior of the temple. English

Here there are several pictures dedicated to the cathedral of the city, which in recent months has been freed from the scaffolding that has covered it for many months and could not see much of its facade. The restoration works are still ongoing. Here there are no photos of the cloister, which should be part of the visit.

Quite apart from the center is the monastery of Pedralbes in the upper part of the city, near the ring road. In 1993 a monastery area was ceded to the city to house part of the Thyssen-Bornemisza collection of paintings to this exhibition in 2004 moved to the MNAC (Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya). A small community of Clarisse nuns continues to reside in an adjacent building.
