Cathedral de la Santa Creu i Santa Eulalia, a. K. A La Seu.
The cathedral is found in the guts of the city and its history reflects the different stages of the city’s development. Already in 343 A.D, the Romans built a basilica on the same ground, which was then wrecked totally in 985 by the Moors. Later on it got replaced by a Roman cathedral again in the 11th century. The construction of the main cathedral itself took from 1298 to 1460 and further works on the gothic cover were finished in the latter 19th century. While many changes have been made in the case of the cathedral, the Santa Llucia chapel has kept its cosy character and the famous thirteen geese. Each goose represents one year in the life of the martyr Santa Eulalia, who was tortured to death in the 4th century by the Romans for her religion.

Sant Pau del Camp.
This is the oldest church in the Catalan metropolis, which is located in the district of Raval and which is the sole Roman building in Barcelona. The Benedictine monastery was initially made in the 9th century and was rebuilt in the 11th and 12th Century after it had been wrecked by the army of Almanzor. Further destruction made further restorations required and these days one can see different epochal influences, which underwent Barcelona.
