Home What to do in Lloret Lloret de Mar in the Daytime Culture Parish Church of Sant Romà

Taking a stroll through Lloret de Mar’s historic centre, you will come across the Church of Sant Romà, the patron saint of Lloret de Mar. The building reflects two very different periods of construction and architecture.

The front of the church was built in the Gothic style (between 1509 and 1522), with its beautiful and austere entrance. In contrast, you will be struck by the explosion of colour on the two domes on each side and the mosaic of the 12 apostles, inspired by the art of the Catalan modernism movement towards the end of the 19th century.

Why visit?

This is one of the most spectacular churches in the region. Its impressive domes with captivating colours will take you by complete surprise.

Its history

It is steeped in the history of the ‘Indianos’ When the people of Lloret who left for the Americas returned home after making their fortunes, they were met with a sad and impoverished town that was very different to what they were used to.

Several different emigrant families initiated the construction of a new church, which was begun in 1912 and finished in 1930.

The inner part was destroyed in the Spanish Civil War, but the surrounding structure remained intact.

After the war, thanks to donations from some emigrants like Narcís Gelats, the decision was made to build a larger and more modern church.

This resulted in the building we see today, with two beautiful side chapels: the Santíssim and the Baptismal.
