Gothic Quarters of Barcelona

 Barcelona Cathedral - home to the Archbishop of Barcelona
The cathedral is dedicated to Eulalia of Barcelona, co-patron saint of Barcelona, a young virgin who, according to Catholic tradition, suffered martyrdom during Roman times in the city. 

 Classic Gothic architecture!
 This is an old mail-slot

 There are 13 geese in the cloister - representative of St. Eulalia who was martyred at the age of 13

 I believe this is St. Jordi - the patron saint of Catalonia




The choir sits in the middle of the church!

 Spotting gargoyles and other mythic creatures with our tour guide, Clara.
She was amazing!!!

 Roman columns that have been preserved - yes, they built an apartment around it!
City Hall
