Explorar Sant Cugat del Vallès

The Monastery of Sant Cugat is a former Benedictine abbey that grew up around the tomb of the martyr Cucuphas and became the leading monastery of the county of Barcelona. Its church and large Romanesque cloister were built between the mid-12th century and 1337; the cloister and the monastery museum are run by the Museu de Sant Cugat.

The Sagrada Família is a Catholic basilica in Barcelona's Eixample, begun in 1882 and led from 1883 by Antoni Gaudí, who worked on it until his death in 1926 and is buried in its crypt. Its central Tower of Jesus Christ, completed in 2026, is 172.5 metres high. Visitors see the Nativity and Passion façades and the tree-like columns of the nave.

Barcelona Cathedral, dedicated to the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia, is the seat of the Archbishop of Barcelona in the Gothic Quarter. It was built mainly between the 13th and 15th centuries and received its neo-Gothic main facade in the late 19th century. The crypt holds the relics of Saint Eulalia, and the cloister, completed in 1448, encloses the Font de les Oques.

The Ancient Synagogue of Barcelona is a small stone building on Carrer de Marlet in the Call, the city's medieval Jewish quarter, identified as its main synagogue, which fell out of use after the massacre of 1391. Bought by Miguel Iaffa in 1995 and restored by the Associació Call de Barcelona, it opened to visitors in 2002 as a synagogue and small museum.

Santa Maria del Mar is a Catalan Gothic church in the Ribera district, built between 1329 and 1383 with the support of the neighbourhood's guilds to a design by Berenguer de Montagut. The cultural visit adds the crypt, the gallery museum, the towers and the roof terraces to the wide, three-aisled interior.
