Artistic treasures of the Middle Ages: the Cathedral of the Sea

Occasionally, some of our most interesting historical-artistic buildings leave their apparent ostracism or oblivion, because chance - or should we say causation? - choose them as the main framework in a literary work of fiction, which causes admiration in the public.

Such would be the case of this beautiful Cathedral of the Sea, located in the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona, not far from the other cathedral of Barcelona and somewhat further away, of course, from that authentic wonder, which is Gaudí's Holy Family.

Some years ago, the writer Ildefonso Falcones presented her to a world that practically did not know her, outside the realm of Barcelona, giving her a deserved prominence, as the main axis on which an exciting medieval history unfolds.

We were thus, somehow, participants in how a seemingly uneducated community raised an authentic work of Art, maintaining in its execution the most complimentary criteria of Sacred Geometry - beauty, balance, moderation and harmony - to put them at the service of a faith, as the great Goethe would say, was looking for God in the highest.
