Description
14th century: the city of Barcelona was a prosperous city and had grown before the coast. The humble new fishermen's district decided to build, with its own money and effort, the largest temple that had ever existed: Santa Maria del Mar. "From the top of the Collserola Mountain, on the ancient Roman road that connected the northern town of Empúries with the southern town of Tarragona, Bernat discovered for the first time the freedom and immensity of the sea. He had never imagined something that had no end."
