The Cathedral of Santa Eulalia, known also as La Seu, is the Gothic cathedral dedicated to Barcelona's patron saint Eulalia - a young girl tortured to death by the Romans for her religion.


It was constructed between 13th and 15th centuries, only the neo-gothic facade is from 19th century. On the interior courtyard are always 13 geese - each goose represents one year of Eulalia's life. In the crypt there is also her sarcophagus.
