    The Fountain of Saint George or Font de Sant Jordi, a beautiful corner in the courtyard of the Barcelona Cathedral. It seems that this little fountain has already supplied water to the city since 1356, coming from the Collserola mountain range. The sculpture of Sant Jordi is the work of Emili Colom i Comerma, (1924 - 2007), and was made in 1970. Everything in the environment brings together great beauty and a bucolic air accompanied by the sound of water and the thirteen geese that are in the place, as many as Saint Eulalia was old when she was martyred. On Corpus Christi Day, you can see "L'ou com balla", an egg is held by the force of the spring, appearing to dance, it is a very celebrated moment and visited by many citizens.

    It is a continuation of the temple. When we walked out, we were able to continue walking in this section before leaving. There is a souvenir shop. Let us buy souvenirs.

    Awful, the hour to access was until 17:45, we arrived 17:43 and the door was already closed. I asked if my grandmother could at least visit it alone since I bought her a rosary from this church last year and the guard told us no. Very rude.

    Maravilloso 👏 claustro del siglo xv , dentro de la catedral de Barcelona al ➡ ✅ que no hace falta pagar. Allí venden velas para iluminar los hermosos 😉 altares de Santos y vírgenes que hay. Además de la exquisita fuente ⛲ con ocas 🦢que hay...por cierto esas ocas 🦢representan ser las guardianas de la catedral y son 13 creo que 🤔 por la edad de la santa eulalia cuando murió. En navidades lo adornan con el belén y en la festividad de l'ou com batlla también lo adornan. En conclusión Magnífica, no sé la pierdan. Recuerden que 🤔 hay un horario.

    After passing the bishop's bridge to reach the cathedral you have the opportunity to visit this garden with the various chapels, which is part of the cathedral. Very suggestive place

    An interesting and atmospheric place, especially in the evening and with fewer tourists. It is worth entering for a moment and learning about the legend with a dragon in the main role.

    Lovely 15th century fountain in the Cathedral’s cloister. They don’t build them like they used to. No fee to visit. Nice place to cool off on a hot summer day.

    大聖堂脇のCroister(回廊)にあるセント・ジョージの伝説の噴水。欧州では一般的にセント・ジョージが龍を倒してお姫様を救った話なのだが、バルセロナでは他の地域にない続きがあるとの事。倒した龍からバラが咲き、それをお姫様にプレゼントして、お姫様は本をあげたのだとか。その為バルセロナでは8/23には男性が女性にバラをプレゼントして、お返しに本を送るそうです。バレンタインみたいな話ですね〜。 ここには13羽のガチョウがいて、この13という数字はエウレリアが受けた処刑の数であったり、亡くなった年齢と同じなのですが、この噴水を造っているときにガチョウがやってきたという伝説でした。今では飼育員がいて、13羽に名前をつけて大事にされています。

    Visiting it at night was very beautiful but I would like to go back during the day to appreciate so many details.
