Barcelona's Cathedral

The pointed arches force one's eyes to move from bottom to top, following the direction of the point. The structural material used for the Cathedral was Montjuit stone, which was damaged often due to natural deformation of structure. Numerous renovations had been made, which replicates distinctive Gothic features, intensifies the design, and provides a more elaborate finish. The Roman Catholic Cathedral acts as a place of worship and celebration, and is a major attraction and symbol of Barcelona, Spain. As immense as this Cathedral may seem, it is an eye-catcher, which welcomes people not only from Spain, but across the world.
