What travelers say:
The interior of the Virgin Mary is tall and solemn. Unlike the Sagrada Familia, there are a lot less decorations here, and there are raw stone buildings exposed at a glance. But the flower windows here are very beautiful.

Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Church of Santa Maria Maggiore is one of the more popular sights of Barcelona citizens, built in pure Catalan Gothic style. The church was built between 1329 and 1383, when the Mediterranean trade gradually began to develop on a large scale. The Catalans built this church to pray for smooth sailing. Above the gate is a huge circular rose window with a picture of the Virgin made of stained glass. Each piece of glass tells the story of a Virgin, gathered into a large circle, very imposing. On both sides of the church stands the quaint and robust octagonal bell tower, which can be called the landmark building of the church. The church has three doors, all of which can be entered, but only from the main entrance during weekend prayers. The image of two strong men is carved on the door of the church, indicating that the stone porters who built the church will never be forgotten.

The interior of the Virgin Mary is tall and solemn. Unlike the Sagrada Familia, there are a lot less decorations here, and there are raw stone buildings exposed at a glance. But the flower windows here are very beautiful.
The Gothic cathedral, which is a legacy of the Middle Ages, is one of the most perfect Gothic buildings in Barcelona. It has towering stone pillars and Gothic windows. The exterior is particularly simple, and the church door is carved with two Hercules.
The Cathedral of Notre Dame of the Sea is located in the eastern Gothic area, which is the most perfect Gothic building in Barcelona. It maintains a pure Catalan Gothic style and has a flame nearby. Open hours: Monday to Saturday: 9.00 - 13.30, 16.30 -20.00. Sundays and holidays: 10.00 -13.30, 16.30 -20.00. Tickets: Most of the time is free, depending on the situation
The Church of the Virgin Mary is also called the Church of the Virgin of the Ocean. Although it is not as exquisite as the Bassé main church, it is better than the few tourists. You can taste the beauty of the building and experience the charm of religion. There is also a small restaurant at the entrance of the church, where you can drink coffee and see the praise of the buskers. I met a group of volunteers at the door, fundraising for the hospital, and I had to take some videos with tourists. Although I was a little afraid of encountering liar thieves, I still didn't refuse enthusiastic volunteers. Very interesting experience.
A must-see attraction in the old town, a typical gothic building, which is slightly simpler than other churches. You can take 10 minutes to see
