Deep inside the Borne or Ribera Quarter you will find this amazing church. Santa Maria del Mar church is one of the most beautiful ones in Barcelona. It was built in just 55 years, from 1329 to 1384, and it is the only surviving church in the pure Catalan Gothic style. Its structure comprises three naves, underpinned by very tall columns set 13 metres apart, a distance unsurpassed by any other existing medieval building. This gives the impression of sublime width, height and airiness.
Opening time:
Monday to Saturday, from 9 am to 1:30 pm & 4:30 pm to 8 pm.
Sunday & public holidays: from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm & 4:30 pm to 8 pm.
