Description
Santa Maria del P, meaning "St. Mary of the Pine", is a 15th-century Gothic church in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It is situated on the Plaça del Pi, in the Gothic district of the city. The bell tower is octagonal in shape, rising to 54 metres, with walls at the base that are 3.55 metres thick. It has a peal of six bells, of which the largest is "Antònia", which has a diameter of 1.4 metres and weighs 1,806 kilograms. Construction was started on the bell tower in 1460, under the instructions of the architect, Barthomeu Mas, and was completed in 1497. This image was taken as we walked along a narrow street approaching the church. I loved the point of view of the dramatic bell tower flanked by the two story residences along the old cobblestone street.
