Church of Santa Maria, Peniscola, Gothic parish church in Peniscola, Spain.

The Church of Santa Maria is a parish church built in Valencian Gothic style in the old town of Peniscola, featuring a 45-meter bell tower. The interior displays elaborate vaulting with carved stone details and wooden furnishings arranged within its rectangular layout.

The building was reconstructed following a major fire in the 15th century, leading to the creation of new vaulting systems. This rebuilding effort shaped the structure visitors see today and reflects the resilience of the community.

This parish church has served as the spiritual center of Peniscola's community for centuries. The interior reflects the religious traditions and devotion of local residents who gathered here for worship and celebration.

The church sits in Peniscola's historic center and is easy to reach on foot from nearby streets. Visitors should note that access may be limited during religious services, so planning ahead is helpful.

The vault keys feature intricate stone carvings depicting religious symbols and figures above the main floor. These carved details are often overlooked by visitors despite being remarkable examples of the craftsmanship invested in the interior.
