The
church was built over the grave of Santa Eulàlia, the patron
saint of Barcelona. Within the church, the immense columns on either
side of the central nave soar up to fan vaults, in keeping with
the Gothic style. The sheer height of the church and the peaceful,
candlelit setting enrich its spiritual atmosphere. It is a wonderful
place to gather your thoughts and disconnect from the busy streets
outside. The eight columns in a semi-circle formation, surrounding
the altar and the beautiful 15th century stained-glass windows looking
over them, are also fine examples of Gothic architecture.
