Catedral de Barcelona

I took a tour of the large central Catedral de Barcelona today and was duly impressed by both the sheer mass of the building and its contents; lots of gold adorn the many small chapels. One of the nicest features for a tourist is the ability to take an elevator to the roof, where the panorama of Barcelona spreads out in every direction.
They have constructed an apparatus on the roof that I found interesting. I like the way this catwalk undulates across and contrasts with the old brick roof of the cathedral. At the end of the catwalk is a large cross that looks out over Barcelona towards the Mediterranean.
