- The first documentary reference we find to the church of Santa
Maria del Mar is in a text from the year 998. This basilica is the
work of the architect Berenguer de Montagut, and the first stone
was laid to commemorate the conquest of Sardinia, which completed
the Catalan domination in the Mediterranean initiated ten years
earlier with the conquest of Mallorca, and which reached its
fullest extent with the entry of Sicily and Greece into the domains
of the House of Barcelona.
