Barcelona's central place of worship captivates with its grandeur, from its Gothic-style gargoyles and intricate stone detailing adorning its main facade to its octagonal, flat-roofed towers. Constructed between 1298 and 1460 and updated with a facade from 1887 to 1890, this majestic building stands out among the churches of Barcelona. The other facades are sparsely decorated, reflecting Catalan Gothic architectural principles.
