Overview
- Two chicks have emerged in the basilica’s nest with a third expected soon, and a live webcam lets people watch the brood.
- The breeding pair uses a nest on the Torre de San Bartolomé about 80 meters up, where they have returned for roughly two decades.
- The site is part of a reintroduction effort launched in 1999 by Barcelona City Council with the conservation group Galanthus Natura.
- A 2025 agreement between the municipal parks institute and the Sagrada Família foundation supports the city’s eight breeding pairs and added the nest camera under Plan Natura 2030.
- Barcelona has logged more than 250 chicks to date, including 56 at the basilica, and peregrines here feed mainly on pigeons.
