Among the corners of the gothic Cathedral (1298-1448) that prevails in the current landscape of Barcelona, there are artistic elements left by the time from the primitive paleochristian basilica, built in the 4th century A. D., passing through the visigoth church, by the romanesque and gothic cathedrals and entering the modernity until the recent history of the Cathedral of Barcelona. Here, we will seek to lift some of these temporal landmarks given by art over the centuries and which, preserved in the temple, tell the life of the Cathedral.
