Barcelona is a very rich city historically speaking, apart from the impressive Roman remains that can be found in Via Laietana . For example, the city is home to churches with great architectual beauty. The best way to see these works of art is to rent a Barcelona accommodation australia apartment in the Born or Gothic districts of the city. Let's take a look at some of these wonderful buildings.
To start with, and although you may be tired of hearing about it by now if you know anything about Barcelona accommodation australia , is Gaudi's Sagrada Familia (Church of the Holly Familly). This is a church accommodation australia started by the famous architect on 19th March 1882, but it still hasn't been finished. They do estimate that it will be complete during the first third of this century, some guessing its completion will coincide with the 100th year since Gaudí's death, accommodation australia 2020. The christian symbolism is present throughout the work, which was declared a minor basilica on 7th November, 2010 by Pope Benedict XVI. Choosing accommodation by this church is not a bad idea, as there are almost always accommodation australia queues to get in and it's better to get in early.
Secondly we come to the church of Santa Maria del Mar , the extraordinary Gothic construction that will make your jaw drop. It was built between 1329 and 1383 by Berenguer de Montagut and Ramón Despuig , and it's an attraction that you cannot miss. Today, it's one of the most visited destinations in the city thanks largely accommodation australia to the novel by Ildefonso Falcones ; The Cathedral of the Sea, which has sold over 1 million copies and has been translated into many languages. You can find it in the Born district .
You mustn't miss the distinguished Cathedral of Barcelona either, in its gothic style. It is the seat of of the Archbishop of Barcelona, in Catalonia. The current cathedral was built over the old Romanesque cathedral during the thirtheenth to fiftheenth century. It has been dedicated to the Holy Cross since the year 599 and was later to Santa Eulalia from 877, the patron accommodation australia saint of the city. If you happen to be in the city for Christmas, you will find a beautiful street market in front of this church.
Finally, I'd like to emphasize the Templo Expiatorio del Sagrado Corazo (Temple Expiatori del Sagrat Cor - Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus) in Tibidabo. This construction is an important accommodation australia symbol for Barcelona and is one of the first things you will see on arrival to Barcelona , either by car or plane. It was built by the architect Enric Sagnier i Villavecchia accommodation australia and completed by his son Josep Maria Sagnier i Vidal between 1902 and 1961. Right in front of this temple is the Tibidabo amusement park , one of the oldest in Europe.
