Church of San Feliu

Iglesia Sant Feliu, Iglesia de San Felix
Spain, Girona
The Church of Sant Feliu is located in Saint Feliu Square and is consecrated in honor of Narcissus and Felix, the two patrons of the city. The cathedral was built during the XIV-XVII centuries, so it is characterized by a mixture of Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque styles. In the interior decoration, of particular interest is the 16th-century altar and the alabaster figure of the reclining Christ. It also houses early Christian and ancient Roman sarcophagi. And in the northern part is the baroque chapel of San Narciso, dedicated to St. Narcissus.

The church was once part of the defensive fortifications of the city. The peculiarity of Sant Feliu is a unique bell tower with an octagonal base. Address: Pujada de Sant Feliu. Entrance - with a complex ticket of the Cathedral (7 euros). Free admission on Sundays from 13:00 to 18:00. The remains of the main patron of Girona, Saint Narcissus, rest in the church. Various miracles and healings from diseases are attributed to him. There is a legend that when French troops invaded the city in the 13th century and desired to desecrate the grave of the patron of the city, a swarm of giant flies flew out of the Saint's sarcophagus, each of which was the size of an acorn.
