Santa Maria del Mar Church The Santa Maria del Mar Church is one of the most visually appealing religious buildings in the city. It is located in the heart of the Gothic quarter, in central Barcelona. The first stone of the church was laid to celebrate the conquest of Sardinia by the Empire of Aragon; of which Barcelona was the capital city. Though subsequently added to & improved as years went by. Externally it is the only perfectly finished Catalan Gothic church, with features including sculptures & a magnificent 15th century stained glass window in the shape of a rosette. However it is the church of Santa Maria del Mar's interior that is most impressive. Extraordinarily beautiful in appearance it boasts excellent acoustic conditions, & its large open spaces make it an ideal venue for concerts. These are usually of a classical nature.
