Santa Maria de Puigcerdà, Gothic church in Puigcerdà, Spain
The Santa Maria bell tower rises 42 meters high, constructed with masonry and stone blocks on four granite pillars in an octagonal structure.
Construction of the church began in 1177, with subsequent Gothic modifications in the 14th century before its partial destruction during the 1936 Spanish Civil War.
The bell tower and Gothic entrance portal with floral motifs remain as essential elements of Catalonian architectural heritage from medieval times.
The tourist office operates from the base of the bell tower, providing information about visiting hours and access to the observation terrace.
Archaeological excavations in 2013 revealed the northern wall of the original Romanesque nave and three buttresses from the 12th century construction.
