Church of Sant Bartomeu, Benicarló

The stone-built Church of Sant Bartomeu features an octagonal tower, a monumental baroque portal, and measures 60 meters in length and 29 meters in width.

Construction of the church began on May 25, 1724, and concluded on October 9, 1743, replacing an earlier religious structure from which little information remains.

The church contains a single nave with a transept and interconnected chapels between the buttresses, creating the appearance of side aisles.

The upper section of the facade incorporates a niche containing the statue of Saint Bartholomew, surrounded by ornate baroque decorative elements.
