La Seu Cathedral (Plaça de la Seu; daily 7.45am-7.45pm; 4€), one of Spain’s most astonishing specimens of Gothic architecture. Dedicated to Santa Eulàlia – Barcelona’s patron saint whose tomb lies in the crypt – it features elaborate choir stalls in the interior, a beautiful cloister that overlooks a palm tree-filled garden and a terrace (daily 1-5pm) with superb views over the centuries’ old rooftops nearby. If you’re around on a weekend, stop by the cathedral square for the sardana (the Catalan national dance). Barelonans come to the cathedral square to dance the sardana, accompanied by musicians, at noon on Sundays, 6:30 pm on Saturdays and 7:00 pm on Wednesdays. It’s an experience you won’t want to miss.
