What beautiful places and amazing photography!
I took this image inside the Santa Maria del Mar, an imposing church in the Ribera district of Barcelona. I hadn’t planned to visit, but when I found myself very near the church with my camera, I decided to go inside and photograph it. It is an impressive building; you cannot realize how huge it is until you are inside.Do you like this photo? Get a Print or Download It as Free HD Wallpaper
It might seem odd to find archaeological ruins like these inside a beautiful modernist building, but everything in Barcelona has a history and a reason. The building is the old “Mercat del Born;” in 2002, the local city council decided to create a new library in it. However, they change their minds after the discovery of the extensive medieval ruins under the building. The ruins were part of the Ribera district, an area that was demolished in the early eighteenth century after the defeat of Catalonia in the War of Succession in 1714.Do you like this photo?
