Where the concierge points people first

The rest of the places of worship in Barcelona — every one we hold

Shoulders and knees, checked at the door

Barcelona's big churches enforce a dress rule at the door: covered shoulders, and shorts or skirts no shorter than roughly the knee. Staff at the Catedral and the Sagrada Família do turn people away in summer, so a light scarf or overshirt in the bag saves a wasted queue. Hats come off inside. During Mass, visitors are expected to stay out of the nave or sit quietly, and flash photography is unwelcome. Mosques and synagogues on this list are community places first; go with a contact made in advance.
