Betlem Church

The Church of Betlem presents a triangular pediment decorated with relief sculptures depicting biblical scenes on its main facade facing Carrer del Carme.

The structure, constructed between 1680 and 1729 under architect Josep Juli major, served as a Jesuit church until their departure from Spain in 1767.

The interior contains numerous side chapels featuring Baroque altarpieces, polychrome wooden sculptures of saints, and a white marble altar in the Chapel of Montserrat.

Located at Carrer del Carme 2 in Barcelona, the church maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors interested in ecclesiastical architecture.

The entrance showcases a sculpture depicting Saint Ignatius of Loyola conversing with Saint Francis Borgia, representing a significant moment in religious history.
