More information on Plaça del Pi i Plaça Sant Josep Oriol

This basilica owes its name (pi means pine) to the pine forest that once stood here and spanned from the walls of the Roman city to the Ramblas. In 1322, work began on the basilica building, which is in typical Barcelona Gothic style, although the main entrance is Romanesque. It is an imposing structure with a 54m tower. Inside is a chapel, in front of the chapter house containing the tombs of Josep Oriol (a saint from Barcelona) and Antoni Viladomat (an 18th Century baroque painter). There is also a rosette window, truly impressive for its size and the lighting created by the sun at the different times of the day.
