About

The Santa Maria del Pi Cathedral is often called the "Catalan Bell Ringer" for its vibrant bells that resonate across every inch of space between the squares of the Gothic Quarter. The church is the only one in all of Barcelona with a 54-meter bell tower, offering a picturesque view of the city from the top.

The Santa Maria del Pi Cathedral has witnessed several earthquakes, fires, and one Civil War, which overshadowed all previous calamities with its destructive power. By the way, there's a small "talking" secret hidden in the sanctuary's name-the part "pi," which translates to "pine" in Spanish, is visualized on the tympanum above the main entrance, where the Virgin Mary is depicted standing between two pine trees. The church is still active, and besides tourists, you can often see parishioners here.
