“The Basilica de Santa Maria del Pi was constructed between 1319 and 1391 in a Catalan Gothic style, with its origins believed to date back to a 5th-century church.”
In addition it survived many cannonball strikes from enemy forces off the coast! What a place… A medieval pirate haven of sorts.
We got a chance to do the Bell Tower Tour. Long way up! The stairs on the VERY cramped spiral staircase were about half the length of my feet LOL. K was not happy…
This bell tower was the tallest structure in Barcelona for a long long time. We walked up to the roof through one of those pie wedge columns between the bells (in the picture above). Tight squeeze!
