Basílica de Santa Maria del Pi
Santa Maria del Pi is a 14th-century Gothic church in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It is situated on the Plaça del Pi, in the Barri Gòtic district of the city.HistoryThere are unsubstantiated claims that there was an early Christian church on the site in 413. However it is known that in 987 there existed a church outside the city walls and to the west of Barcelona. This was a small Romanesque church dedicated to the Blessed Lady of the Pine Tree (one of the titles of the Virgin Mary). The church was built between 1319 and 1391. The style of the church was Catalan Gothic, with a single nave almost devoid of ornamentation. However, in 1936 the church was gutted by a fire deliberately set by anarchists, who wanted to destroy the building. The church was restored following the end of the Civil War.FacadesThe front façade has a large rose window, which is a faithful 1940 reproduction of the original window, which was destroyed in the fire of 1936. Below is the Gothic arch of the main entrance.The tympanum of the main entrance is divided by two small columns into three arched areas. In the central area is a statue of the Virgin and Child, and above this are placed the arms of the city and of the parish.The side façade has prominent buttresses that support the weight of the arches and vault of the nave. Between each pair of buttresses is a lancet window. In the centre of this façade is the Door of Avemaria.Put Basílica de Santa Maria del Pi into our Barcelona trip itinerary maker to see other points of interest to visit during your vacation in Barcelona.

This minor Basilica is another example of Catalan Gothic, such as the Cathedral and the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar. The entrance is free of charge. The thing to admire is the rose window of size of 10 meters. The visit also includes the climb the Bell Tower, from here you can get an overview about Barcelona truly unique.View original -

Une jolie visite mais pas indispensable. Le ticket d'entrée est assez cher pour ce qu'il y a à voir. more »
A nice visit, but not essential. The entry ticket is pretty expensive for what there is to see.View original -

One of our favorite places to go have lunch...the outside is incredible, there's decent patio cafes all around, and there's usually music, dancing or markets around it on the weekends. You can't beat the area around the Basilica for city ambience.

Beautiful Cathedral with a reasonable entrance fee. The stained glass windows are lovely and I really liked the room to the side that give you a good understanding of the history of the building. The garden was also nice with a couple of friendly cats who came to say hello when I came in.
