Author/s

Co-edition with
Arquebisbat de Barcelona

This book is about the churches of Barcelona and the key role they have played in the construction of the city. In it, the reader will discover that the link between Barcelona's churches and the city itself existed from the days of the first medieval settlements right up to the creation of the latest neighbourhoods formed of polygon-shaped blocks, and includes the churches that have disappeared and have led to the creation of new squares or those that are no longer used as places of worship and are now used for other activities. A collection of 132 architectural objects scattered around the city that offer a previously unseen view of Barcelona and invite readers on an exciting tour of this metropolis.
