Church of Sant Roma in Lloret de Mar

Sant Roma Church
Spain, Costa Brava
One of the most beautiful monuments of the city is the ancient church of Sant Roma. The church was founded in 1522 in the Catalan-Gothic style. Sant Roma was built not only for the purpose of serving the parishioners in it, but also had to serve as a safe haven from the attacks of Turkish and Algerian pirates, who often raided at that time. A deep ditch was dug around the church, high walls with loopholes were built, and in order to get into the bell tower through the gate, it was necessary to lower the drawbridge.

After several centuries, in 1914, the architect Bonaventura Conil i Montobio began the reconstruction of the building. The basic Gothic style was preserved, but it was slightly diluted with elements of modernism. Also in the buildings could be noted and "particles" of the Renaissance, Muslim and Byzantine cultures. Already in 1920, a parochial school was founded. But the civil war that took place in 1936 mercilessly destroyed many of the city's buildings, and this fate did not bypass Sant Roma. At present, only the Capella del Santíssim can tell us about the reconstruction carried out in 1914.

Not far from the beach, between the narrow streets of Lloret de Mar. It's nice to disconnect from the bustle of the city, which reigns everywhere around. Interesting architecture. The building from the mosaic shimmers in the sun, glare runs everywhere. Masses are held here every day, and on Sundays there is a multilingual meeting when the gospel is read in five languages.
