Santa Eulàlia d'Esparreguera, church building in Esparreguera, Spain
Santa Eulàlia d'Esparreguera is a church in the town center with a rectangular layout showing Catalan Gothic style and a soaring octagonal bell tower that reaches about 65 meters in height. The structure combines pointed arches, side chapels set between pilasters, and details from Renaissance and Baroque periods across its stone facade.
The church was built in the early 1600s and consecrated in 1612, replacing an older church located outside town. The bell tower was completed in 1636, and the building was restored in the 1800s after war damage and again in the mid-1900s following destruction during the Civil War.
The church is named after Saint Eulalia, the town's patron saint, whose feast day brings the community together for celebrations. The plaza serves as a gathering space where locals and visitors experience the living heart of Esparreguera's heritage.
The church sits in the main plaza at the town center and is easily reached on foot from the surrounding streets. The tall bell tower serves as a clear landmark for orientation when exploring the historic center of Esparreguera.
The church's main facade was decorated between 1950 and 1954 with ceramic tile artwork by artist Enric Serra, adding color and contemporary expression to the stone exterior. This blend of historic architecture with modern art makes the building distinctly recognizable from the plaza.
