Description

The papal bull of 1928 granting the title of Minor Basilica to the Church of Santa Maria is an ecclesiastical document of great symbolic and institutional value. Signed at the Vatican, this distinction recognizes the historical, artistic and spiritual importance of the temple within the Catholic tradition. The document reflects the direct connection between Catalonia and European religious institutions, and highlights the role of religious heritage in shaping Catalan cultural identity. It is part of the themes of culture, art and international relations, and shows how the spiritual dimension is also part of the shared European legacy.
