| Pictures Santa Maria del Mar church |
Pictures Santa María del Mar church in BarcelonaThe Santa Maria del Mar church - La Basílica de Santa María del Mar - is in the El Born neighbourhood of Barcelona. Address Santa Maria del Mar This magnificent gothic church is widely regarded as the most important and beautiful example of Catalan gothic churches. The church used to be much closer to the sea because the Born neighbourhood was closer to the sea front of Barcelona in medieval times.  The earliest mention of a church of Santa Maria by the sea dates back to the year 998. The Santa Maria del Mar church was built from 1329 to 1383. It is still used for services and concerts and recently was the theme of a very popular novel called Cathedral of the Sea by Spanish/Catalan author Ildefonso Falcones.
