Description

The facade of Girona Cathedral remained unfinished for two centuries (from the 18th century to the second half of the 20th century). When it was decided to complete it, the project of Pere Costa from 1730 was followed closely. Pere Costa (Vic, 1693 – Berga, 13 February 1761), was a sculptor and architect, son of the sculptor Pau Costa, who became one of the most important sculptors and architects of the Catalan Baroque.
