Church of Sant Bertomeu, Xàbia

The Church of Sant Bertomeu features a central nave with three sections, side chapels between buttresses, and a star-shaped ribbed vault ceiling.

Construction of the church began in the 14th century with the presbytery tower, followed by expansions in the 16th century under architect Domingo de Urteaga.

The church received National Artistic Monument status in 1931 and remains part of the cultural heritage framework of Alicante province.

Visitors can access the church from Plaza de la Iglesia, with morning tours available from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and afternoon visits before mass.

Five cannons outside the church document historical pirate raids, while defensive features include arrow slits and watchtower functions in the bell tower.
