The Santa Maria del Mar churc is a Catalan Gotchic church and one of the most beautiful churches in Barcelona. It is located in the city center of the Ribera district. Its history goes back to as early as 998 where the church has been mentioned for the first time, in official documents. The church that can be seen today was built between 1329 and 1389 in a project initiated by the canon Bernat Llull.
In the year 1936 the church suffered a fire where a lot of the building was destroyed including the artwork in the interior of the building. What survived the fire and that can still be seen when visiting the church is the incredible stained glass works of the windows. Being located in a quite hidden area and not clearly seen, the Santa Maria del Mar is worth visiting if you are in Barcelona.
