Being the new year, we all reflect on the year gone by and our expectations for the year ahead. I found out that there was no better place to go and reflect/meditate on such matters than a place of worship from the middle ages - they were all spectacular as these pictures testify.
Santa Maria Del Pi in the Barri Gotic (Gothic Quarter) area of Barcelona's old city - very simple but awe inspiring.
Santa Maria Del Mar in the La Ribera district of the old city - also equally stunning (and peaceful inside)
Barcelona Cathedral (also in the Barri Gotic area) - another spectacular church.
All of the above churches were built in the 13th - 15th centuries :D
Church of St Pere in Figueras, a town about 2 hours away by train from Barcelona - famous for the Dali museum, which will be the topic of another post :D
