Description

Step into the heart of Barcelona’s medieval history with the official guided tour of Santa Maria del Mar, the crown jewel of Catalan Gothic architecture. Built by the city’s seafaring community nearly 700 years ago, this iconic Basilica tells a story of faith, resilience, and civic pride. Your expert English-speaking guide will lead you through its soaring nave, silent chapels, and atmospheric crypt—areas often overlooked by casual visitors. Then, the highlight: ascend to the rooftop terraces and take in sweeping 360-degree views of Barcelona’s skyline, from the Gothic Quarter to the Mediterranean Sea.
