Through the Santa Maria del Mar, we can see the “essence of medieval Barcelona” (Hughes 2004: 40). The motif of width and length being emphasized over height is repeated through this landmark, illustrating the sense of security and triumph medieval Catalans felt when designing the buildings, and as a result, the Santa Maria del Mar is a primeval example of Catalan Gothic architecture (Choay 1969: 26; Hall 1997: 127). This cathedral, located where “the city meets the sea,” was a “place made by workers for workers,” utilized by the sailors and merchants of Barcelona in the 14th century. In 1936, it was attempted to be burnt down by subversive anarchists during the Spanish Civil War; incredibly enough, its structure prevailed (Hughes 2004: 59-60). And what a structure it is—its lofty ceilings and unprecedentedly spaced columns served as an influence for Gaudí’s La Sagrada Familia, a true testament to the extravagance and allure of the Santa Maria. Though the internal area of the church was burned out and its vaults are scathed by the heat of the fire, the Santa Maria may as well have been reborn through the fire with its unadorned, seemingly untouched interior reminiscent of the Llotja only hinting at secrets of the past. � https://collections.ecu.edu/files/original/20/547/Santa_Maria_del_Mar.m4a 1bafc45123e5b3a21d9315843c48b192 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
