Day 5 - Travel to Spain (Barcelona) - June 2023
Cathedral of Barcelona
The Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia (Catalan: Catedral de la Santa Creu i Santa Eulalia), also known as Barcelona Cathedral, is the Gothic cathedral and seat of the Archbishop of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The cathedral was constructed from the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries, with the principal work done in the fourteenth century. The cloister, which encloses the Well of the Geese (Font de les Oques), was completed in 1448. In the late nineteenth century, the neo-Gothic facade was constructed over the nondescript exterior that was common to Catalan churches. The roof is notable for its gargoyles, featuring a wide range of animals, both domestic and mythical.
Its form is pseudo-basilica, vaulted over five aisles, the outer two divided into chapels. The transept is truncated. The east end is a chevet of nine radiating chapels connected by an ambulatory. The high altar is raised, allowing a clear view into the crypt.

Gaudí a doté la Casa Batlló d’une façade originale, fantastique et pleine d’imagination. Il a remplacé l’ancienne façade par un nouvel ensemble de pierre et de verre. L’architecte a fait refaire les murs pour qu’ils adoptent une forme ondulée puis les a recouvert de mortier de chaux puis de trencadís de morceaux de verre colorés et de disques en céramique.
