Barcelona does not feature nearly as many churches as Rome does. However, its Santa Maria del Mar is a very famous church, and is massive as well. The church is not nearly as wide as it is long, and when we entered there was even a public wedding taking place. The windows are all done with stained glass and at the top of the entrance there is a giant circular window which lets in most of the church's light. Just past the nave are roof high columns that surround the altar in this basilica style church. The walls of stone do not feature as much artwork as is featured in some Roman churches such as inthe San Ignazio.
