The Monument
Santa Maria del Pi

Begun in the 14th century, Santa Maria del Pi is a Gothic masterpiece located in the heart of Barcelona’s old quarter. Completed around 1453, the church is renowned for its massive rose window—one of the largest in the world—its single wide nave without side aisles, and its soaring octagonal bell tower, which rises 54 meters above the city.

Built to serve a thriving parish community during Barcelona’s medieval expansion, the church has endured fires, wars, and even bombings during the Spanish Civil War, yet it has always remained a central landmark in the city’s religious and cultural life.

Today, Santa Maria del Pi is listed as a Bien de Interés Cultural, hosts concerts and cultural events alongside worship, and welcomes countless visitors each year as one of the finest examples of Catalan Gothic architecture and a lasting symbol of Barcelona’s heritage.
