On a rainy day in Barcelona, tourists sought refuge from the rain, exploring the fascinating interior of the Barcelona Cathedral. one of many side chapels was dedicated to Saint Helena..The Barcelona Cathedral is dedicated to the Holy Cross and Eulalia of Barcelona, co-patron saint of Barcelona, a young virgin martyr who, according to Catholic tradition, suffered martyrdom during Roman times in the city. One story says that she was exposed naked in the public square and a miraculous snowfall in mid-spring covered her nudity. The enraged Romans put her into a barrel with knives stuck into it and rolled it down a street (according to tradition, the one now called Baixada de Santa EulËlia). The relics of Saint Eulalia are entombed in the cathedral's crypt.''..''The cathedral has a secluded Gothic cloister where 13 white geese are kept, the number explained by the assertion that Eulalia was 13 when she was martyred'
