Plaça de Sant Felip Neri
24/7
A secluded, hauntingly beautiful square tucked away from the crowds. It feels like a film set, but the scars on the walls are real remnants of the 1938 bombings. This was Antoni Gaudí's favorite spot for quiet reflection.
Don't miss
Look for the tiny "shoemaker" statue nearby, a nod to the guild that once lived here.

Barcelona Cathedral

Look through the glass floor sections inside to see the archaeological remains of the old monastery.
