Sant Joan d'Horta, Gothic Revival church in Horta-Guinardó, Barcelona, Spain.

The religious building spans 47 meters in length, 20 meters in width, and rises 20 meters high with an octagonal apse and three vaulted naves.

The original church from 1260 was burned in 1909 during the Tragic Week, leading to construction of the current structure between 1911 and 1917.

Nine stained glass windows in the octagonal apse depict scenes from the life of Saint John the Baptist, the patron saint of this church.

Located at 2 Campoamor Street, the church serves as the head of the Horta archpresbytery, overseeing four additional churches in the district.

Two octagonal towers flank the main facade, drawing architectural parallels to the Santa Maria del Pi church in Barcelona.
