Església de Sant Francesc de Sales, 19th-century church in Dreta de l'Eixample, Barcelona, Spain.

The church features a Latin cross layout with a heptagonal apse and a bell tower integrated into the main facade design.

Built between 1878 and 1885 for the Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary, the church suffered damage during the Tragic Week of 1909.

The building represents a prime example of historicist architecture designed by Joan Martorell, who later influenced Antoni Gaudí's architectural development.

The church maintains regular visiting hours from Monday through Sunday, with extended hours during weekdays and shorter schedules on weekends.

The structure includes architectural elements that combine religious functionality with educational purposes since its acquisition by Marist Brothers in 1942.
