Church of Sant Bertomeu, Xàbia, Gothic church in Xàbia, Spain.

The Church of Sant Bertomeu is a fortified Valencian Gothic building with a single nave of three bays, side chapels between buttresses and a square apse. A star-ribbed vault covers the nave, and a gallery with conopial arches runs above the chapels. It is built of local tosca sandstone, much of it from the Cova Tallada, and many blocks still show stonemasons' marks.

Construction started in the 14th century with the presbytery and tower, then expanded significantly in the 16th century under architect Domingo de Urteaga. This later phase gave the building much of its current character.

The church is named after Saint Bartholomew, the city's patron saint. It has served as the spiritual center of the community for centuries and remains a focal point of local life and gatherings.

The main entrance is located at Plaza de la Iglesia in the town center. Visit in the morning when natural light fills the interior spaces and the building is more accessible to visitors.

The bell tower, finished in 1659, also served as a watchtower communicating with the coastal defence system. Five cannons outside the church, taken from the castles of La Fontana and Sant Jordi, recall pirate raids on this coast.
