Nestled in the heart of Barcelona’s Barri Gòtic, the Basilica of Santa Maria del Pi stands as one of the city’s oldest churches, dating back to the 14th century. Constructed in the Catalan Gothic style, the basilica features a striking massive rose window and was named after a pine tree that once stood nearby. Despite being gutted by fire in 1936, it was meticulously restored in the 1960s, preserving its historical and architectural integrity. Today, visitors can explore its grand interior and enjoy a variety of musical concerts held within its walls.
