Basílica dels Sants Màrtirs Just i Pastor

This guide to the Basilica dels Sants Martirs Just i Pastor in Barcelona centers on the sacramental will, a medieval privilege that let a dying person's spoken wishes, sworn by two witnesses at this altar, carry the force of law. It follows the privilege from its early medieval origins through 1284, when King Pere the Great stripped it from every church in Catalonia but this one, and through the estates, dowries and oaths sworn here across the centuries that followed. Stand at that same altar, begun in Gothic stone in 1342, where knights once swore to fight without sorcery.
