| Barcelona Cathedral |
The giant Gothic Barcelona Cathedral is a focal point of interest in the Gothic quarter (historic old town).
As you walk round the Cathedral you will see fine examples of Gothic architecture and Roman walls.
In front of the Cathedral is a small square where you will find street performers, cafes and interesting shops.
The area around the Cathedral has a charm and beauty that makes this location a must visit when you come to Barcelona.

Don't confuse Barcelona Cathedral with La Sagrada Família. We have frequently seen internet web sites referring to the Sagrada Família as a cathedral (the Sagrada Familia is in fact a giant Basilica by Gaudí). However there is only one Cathedral in Barcelona and it is in the Gothic quarter.
