What travelers say:
The interior of the Virgin Mary is tall and solemn. Unlike the Sagrada Familia, there are a lot less decorations here, and there are raw stone buildings exposed at a glance. But the flower windows here are very beautiful.

Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Church of Santa Maria Maggiore is one of the more popular sights of Barcelona citizens, built in pure Catalan Gothic style. The church was built between 1329 and 1383, when the Mediterranean trade gradually began to develop on a large scale. The Catalans built this church to pray for smooth sailing. Above the gate is a huge circular rose window with a picture of the Virgin made of stained glass. Each piece of glass tells the story of a Virgin, gathered into a large circle, very imposing. On both sides of the church stands the quaint and robust octagonal bell tower, which can be called the landmark building of the church. The church has three doors, all of which can be entered, but only from the main entrance during weekend prayers. The image of two strong men is carved on the door of the church, indicating that the stone porters who built the church will never be forgotten.

The interior of the Virgin Mary is tall and solemn. Unlike the Sagrada Familia, there are a lot less decorations here, and there are raw stone buildings exposed at a glance. But the flower windows here are very beautiful.
The Gothic Cathedral left over from the Middle Ages is one of the most perfect Gothic buildings in Barcelona. It has tall pillars and Gothic windows. The appearance of the church is very simple, and the doors of the church are also carved with the images of two strongmen.
The Cathedral of Notre Dame of the Sea is located in the eastern part of the Gothic District. It is the most perfect Gothic building in Barcelona. It maintains a pure Catalonian Gothic style with a sacred fire nearby. Opening hours: Monday to Saturday: 9.00 - 13.30, 16.30 - 20.00. Sundays and holidays: 10.00-13.30, 16.30-20.00. Tickets: Most of the time is free, depending on the situation.
Notre Dame Maria Church is also called Notre Dame of the Sea Church. Although it is not as exquisite as the Cathedral of Barcelona, it has fewer tourists and can appreciate the beauty of architecture and experience the charm of religion. There is also a small restaurant outside the church, where you can drink coffee and see the praise of street artists. I met a group of volunteers at the entrance to collect money for the hospital. I wanted to shoot some videos with tourists. Although a little afraid of meeting cheaters and thieves, but still did not refuse enthusiastic volunteers. It was an interesting experience.
A church with a rich color, many tourists take pictures here.
