1. The cloister of  the Cathedral of Saint Eulalia.

2. A cloister with 13 geese, the cloister was built in the 14th Century. 

3. Each goose represents one year in the life of the martyr Santa Eulalia, a young girl tortured to death in the 4th century by the Romans because she was a christian.

4. The style of the cathedral is Gothic, it flourished during the high and late medieval period and evolved from Romanesque architecture. 

5. The place is visited by tourists and churchgoers.

6.The Cathedral is dedicated to the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia, who is the patron of Barcelona. It is said that the number of geese representher age and death. Her remains are said to lie in the crypt of the Cathedral. Another possible explaination is that keeping geese is a tradition that dates back to the Romans who kept geese as security guards, so they have safeguarded the treasure of the Cathedral so far.

7. The sensation received is very strange because we associate the spirituality of the place with the earthly vision of poultry, a symbol of everyday life in the past.
