Capella del Santissim Sacrament

One side chapel is dedicated to "Christ of Lepanto" and contains a cross from a ship that fought at the Battle of Lepanto (1571). Catalan legend states that during the battle, the corpus suddenly and miraculously shifted to the right to avoid being hit by a cannonball, a miraculous sign from God that the Ottomans would be defeated. The chapel of Christ of Lepanto also contains the shrine and sepulchre of Saint Olegarius, who was a bishop of Barcelona and an archbishop of Tarragona. (Wikipedia)

Amazingly enough, this is the end of the cathedral gallery! Thanks, everybody, for the kind comments and votes! I have only a few more images for the main Barcelona gallery, and then it will be done (until our next visit, anyway).
