One of the most magnificent historical monument in Barcelona is the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia. It's a very mysterious and beautiful building which inspired many painters and writers. Moreover, thanks to visit the Gothic cathedral you will learn a lot about the history of Barcelona and Catalonia.
The Barcelona Cathedral is a great example of the Catalan Gothic architecture. It was constructed during three centurys; started in the 13th and was completed in the 15th century. The cloister, which encloses the Well of the Geese (cat. Font de les Oques) was ended in 1448. This is one of the most surprising parts of the cathedral because we can really observe there geese bathing in the fountain. Other remarkable area in the cathedral is the choir with a beautiful set of carved wooden chairs.
The most famous book inspired by the Barcelona Cathedral is "Cathedral of the sea" written by Ildefonso Falcones. I really recomend you to read this novel. What's more, there is a serie which based on the book produced by Netflix. Here you can see the trailer of the serie. I wish you enjoy it ;)
