Lloret de Mar (La Selva)

Parish Church of Sant Romą
Taking a stroll through Lloret de Mar’s historic centre, you will come across the Church of Sant Romą, 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.The two modernist-style side chapels (Baptistery and Holiest Sacrament) were built by Bonaventura Conill i Montobbio in 1916. There are also examples of modern art in the church, for example, the stone image of Our Lady of Loreto and a carving of the Holy Christ, both produced by the sculptor Monjo.
