- The Basilica de Santa María del Mar is a large church dating back to the fourteenth century. In 1936, the building largely burned down during the Civil War. As a result, both organs were lost, a main organ from 1797 by Jean-Pierre Cavaillé and Dominique Cavaillé-Coll, and a small organ from 1672.
- The current organ is a special instrument. It was originally built for the Convento de los Trinitarios in Vich. It's been gone there for a long time. In 1983, parts of the organ were found at an antique dealer, and a year later more remains were found. A reconstruction of the organ meant that more than 90 percent of the pipework had to be made new. The Grenzing company carried out the work. In 1997 the Organo Mayor was completed and could be used. The Caderata followed in 2005. On May 31, 2005, the entire organ was put into use.
