Església arxiprestal de Sant Mateu, Gothic church in Sant Mateu, Spain.

The Església arxiprestal de Sant Mateu combines Romanesque and Gothic elements in its stone structure, featuring an octagonal bell tower reaching 32 meters high.

Construction of the church began in the 13th century with a simple wooden roof, and expanded significantly during the mid-14th century as the population grew.

The church houses an archpriest museum containing valuable metalwork pieces, including the notable Grande Cross from 1397.

The church stands in Plaza de la Iglesia, making it readily accessible from all parts of Sant Mateu's historic center.

The bell tower, added in the 17th century, served both as a religious structure and a defensive fortification during the Germanias period.
