Church of Saint Eulalia
Iglesia de Santa EulaliaSpain, Majorca
The Roman Catholic Church, dedicated to St. Eulalia of Barcelona, is located on the square of the same name - the oldest in the city. The temple was rebuilt from an old Arab mosque at the end of the 13th century. Work on its reconstruction was carried out until the 17th century. In 1276, King James II was crowned there. In addition to its direct religious purpose, the church served as a meeting place for craft workshops, thus uniting the nobility and the common people. In the 19th century, the main facade of the temple was modified, acquiring neo-Gothic features. It is decorated with a large number of sculptural evil spirits: dragons, harpies, basilisks.
The main baroque altar by the Dominican monk Alberto de Burgunya stands out in the interior (he owns the chapels of the church).
