Cathedral of Santa Eulalia

Spain has some of the most hauntingly beautiful cathedrals in the world.

The Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia


Two good examples here would be the Seville Cathedral, which is the third largest church in the world, whereas Anthoni Gaudi designed and built one of the most spectacular Sagrada Familia, among many other popular architectures in his lifetime, in Barcelona and has been listed a World UNESCO site.

Both of which I have taken the effort to visit. Simply because I love hauntingly beautiful architecture full of historical values and stories.

Cathedral of Santa Eulalia is also known as the Barcelona Cathedral.

Situated in the middle of the old city of Barcelona, most of the cathedral was built in the 14th century though it actually took two centuries to finish the complete facade it is today.

It is a Gothic Cathedral where you will find Gargoyles sitting on its roof.

Here are all the photos I've taken inside this beautiful cathedral.
They're all taken with a 500D. 10-22mm lens.
