Barcelona's magnificent Gothic cathedral, built between the 13th–15th centuries, dominates the Ciutat Vella with soaring vaulted ceilings, intricate stone carvings, and stunning stained-glass windows. Explore the ornate interior, catch the organ if timing allows, wander the peaceful cloister with its famous goose garden, and take in the architectural detail that makes it one of Europe's most impressive churches. Be aware: entry to most areas requires paid admission, and there's a dress code enforced at the entrance (no sleeveless summer wear allowed without purchasing a t-shirt on-site).
