St. Peter's Church

Iglesia parroquial de San Pedro, Sant Pere church
Spain, Figueras
St. Peter's Church was built in the 15th century in the traditional Gothic style. In the northern side of the building, the remains of an ancient Roman building dating back to the 9th century have been preserved. In 1449, the first organ appeared in the church. With the growth of the city, the parish church was expanded and rebuilt. In the 18th century, the old Gothic façade was replaced. During the civil war of 1936-1939, the church was seriously damaged. In 1941-1948, the temple was reconstructed in accordance with its original Gothic style.

The oldest elements of the parish church of Saint Peter in Figueres date back to the 11th century. And already in the 14th century, the church was rebuilt in the then popular Gothic style. The interior decoration is closer to the style of restrained medieval monumentalism. They say that it was in this church that Salvador Dali was baptized at one time. Address: Carrer de L'Esglesia, 8 (next to the iconic Salvador Dalí Theatre-Museum). Free admission.
