myminifactory

Welcome to Barcelona! This stunning model was crafted by talented collaborator JRistol (@1.6_3dart on Instagram), who brings the city's rich history to life. The Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar, a breathtaking Gothic church in Barcelona's historic center, took shape between 1329 and 1383, when Catalonia ruled the seas and dominated trade. This magnificent structure is an exemplary representation of Catalan Gothic architecture, boasting a unique blend of style and unity that is rare in such large medieval buildings. Despite suffering damage from fires and the Spanish Civil War, this incredible church has stood the test of time. Its remarkable construction serves as the backdrop for Ildefonso Falcones' bestselling novel, La catedral del mar (Cathedral of the Sea), which was adapted into a popular Netflix series in 2018. MiniWorld 3D is honored to bring this captivating model to life as a tribute to the people of Catalonia. A huge thank you goes out to JRistol (@1.6_3dart on Instagram) for their incredible work!
