Sant Salvador del Vendrell

Sant Salvador del Vendrell, Baroque church in El Vendrell, Spain.

Sant Salvador del Vendrell is a Baroque parish church whose stone facade is divided into three sections: the central one holds the main door, a large rose window and a semicircular top, the right one has a segmental-arch balcony, and the left one carries the bell tower with a clock. Inside, a central nave with three side chapels per side, a transept and a conch-decorated apse lead to a large dome over the crossing.

The building dates to the 18th century when it was constructed in baroque style and became a landmark in El Vendrell. In 2000 it was officially recognized as a Cultural Asset of Local Interest, confirming its place in Catalonia's architectural heritage.

The bell tower's two bells, Salvadora (25 quintars, note E) and Anna (18 quintars, note F), were cast in the town by Jaume Mestres of Reus and blessed on 24 July 1784. The angel weather vane, made by silversmith Josep Romeu of Vilanova i la Geltrú, was placed on 6 August 1784, the feast of Sant Salvador, and still turns to show the wind.

The bell tower stands on the left side of the main facade, above the clock and a lowered-arch balcony; the entrance door, with its large lintel and attached columns, is in the central body. Look for the bullet marks left on the tower stones by Carlist troops in March 1874. The bronze angel on top turns to show the wind direction.

The bronze angel atop the bell tower, made by the Vilanova silversmith Josep Romeu and placed there on 6 August 1784, turns on its axis to show which way the wind blows. Its raised arm points into the wind, and its head wears a crown of laurel and flowers.
