Last night I attended the Mozart Requiem concert in the Santa Maria del Mar church. This church is culturally significant to the history of Barcelona because it was built by the middle class, for the middle class. It was a symbol of wealth and power for the people of the original city. This church represented the religion of the middle class, and was the place of worship for all the guild workers.
The concert last night was a fun and interesting cultural experience, as I was able to sit inside a historically important church with local Catalan people, listening to amazing classical music. As a side note, the acoustics in the church were phenomenal.
