Description

This private tour of the Gothic Quarter is your chance to discover one of Barcelona's most historically, culturally and architecturally important churches: Barcelona Cathedral. Churches are not only a place of worship but also a treasure trove of local history, culture and traditions. Let us show you the essence of Gothic Catalonia! Book this 2-hour tour of the Gothic Quarter to visit Barcelona Cathedral with skip-the-line access to the church and its choir entrance, rooftop, cloister, and the art gallery in the Chapter Hall. Your Private Guide will meet you in the lively Plaça de Catalunya and guide you through the maze of narrow, winding alleys of the Gothic Quarter. The Cathedral is located in the heart of Barcelona's oldest neighborhood, surrounded by the ruins of the ancient Roman city walls, defensive towers and aqueducts. Take a moment to admire the Cathedral’s stunning Gothic architecture with a roof featuring gargoyles in the form of various domestic and mythical animals, then step inside the gallery of sacred art, expensive Gothic altarpieces, and the famous Chapel of Saint Christ of Lepanto. You will learn interesting facts about the most significant elements of the temple and hear the legend of Saint Eulalia, the Cathedral’s patron. You will also visit the secluded Gothic cloister where ducks are kept and the rooftop terrace, which offers a spectacular panoramic view of Barcelona.

Inside the basilica, you will see the museum, crypts, stand and the roof terraces.
