Building began atop the former citadel of the Roman city on the site of an Arab mosque in 1229 CE
but it was not completed until 1601 CE

The old city is full of attractive old buildings & narrow streets
Enjoying an afternoon bottle of Cava in the square of Santa Eulalia near our hotel

The cathedral at night
There are many ornate old buildings in the old city/ Delicious lunch tapas of small chorizo sausages cooked in wine,
