The cathedral in Barcelona illustrates extraordinary gothic architecture. The cathedral has 28 side chapels encircling the nave. Begun in 1298 it was not completed until the late 19th century when the main facade was finished. The cloisters, with palm trees and white geese make it a unique visit. The cloisters date from 14the century The geese have lived in the cloister’s pond for over five centuries with no exact reason behind their presence.

We have visited the Cathedral and the cloisters twice with our last visit in 2002. Each time thoroughly enjoyable.
