Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia

The Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia (Barcelona Cathedral) is the Gothic seat of the archbishop of Barcelona. Construction began in 1298 and the medieval fabric was completed in the 15th century; a neo‑Gothic west façade and central tower were finished in 1913. The building contains a high choir, multiple chapels, a cloister with the Well of the Geese, and the crypt housing the relics of Saint Eulalia.

As it stood in 1913

The shape it held in its prime.

A broad neo‑Gothic west façade of pale, weathered stone with three deep pointed portals beneath layered archivolts; tall traceried lancet windows and slender colonnettes rise to a windowed choir level. A soaring openwork cimborio and central spire puncture the skyline, surrounded by smaller pinnacles and flanking bell towers. Elaborate stone tracery, carved gargoyles and sculpted statuary animate the roofline; broad steps descend to a paved forecourt where visitors gather.
