Barcelona - Santa Maria del Pí

On the little Plaça del Pí in the old town stands the Gothic church of Santa Maria del Pí (Or Blessed Lady of the Pine Tree). The otherwise rather sober main facade is relieved by a pointed-arch doorway with a Gothic statue of the Madonna and by a large rose-window. The main tower and those on the front have no domes.

The single-aisled, plain interior is flanked by chapels; the clerestory possesses stained glass windows from the 15th-18th C., those in the rose window being copies of the originals which were destroyed in 1936. Near the door to the sacristy lies the Gothic tomb of Arnau Ferre, who died in 1394 at the siege of Catania in Sicily.

The treasury contains gold and silversmith work and other sacred art.
