Barcelona Cathedral

The cathedral of Barcelona stands in the middle of the Gothic Quarter. Inside the quiet cloister garden there are palm trees, a fountain and a flock of white geese that have lived here for centuries. The carved choir and the rooftop terrace are worth seeing. On weekends there are often sardana dances in the square.

Talking points

• A flock of geese lives in the cloister.
• The roof terrace gives views across the old town.
• Locals sometimes dance the sardana, a Catalan folk dance, outside on weekends.
