BARCELONA GOTHIC QUARTER: SANT JUST I PASTOR

Today I would like to show you another church and square architectural complex inside the Gothic Quarter: Plaça de Sant Just and Sant Just i Pastor church. In previous posts I have spoken about the other church and square sets, as lovely as this one, like Plaça del Pi and Santa Maria del Pi church or Plaça de Sant Felip Neri and Sant Felip Neri church.

Although Plaça de Sant Just isn't as well-known as the previous ones, it's also a lovely place to visit, another oasis in Barcelona city centre.

Perhaps the beauty of Sant Just i Pastor gothic church is the simplicity of its structure, comprising a single nave and a polygonal apse

The stained glass in the upper windows bathes the interior of the church with colour
