Military Parish Church of Barcelona, Neoclassical garrison church in Parc de la Ciutadella, Spain

The Military Parish Church of Barcelona stands within Parc de la Ciutadella, featuring a symmetrical design with classical columns and a central dome.

The church was constructed in 1728 as part of the Citadel of Barcelona, which King Philip V ordered built following the War of Spanish Succession.

Services at this military church maintain connections to Barcelona's defense forces while representing an architectural period when religious and military functions intersected.

Visitors can access the church through the park's main entrance near Arc de Triomf metro station, with Sunday mass held at noon.

The structure remains one of only three original buildings preserved from the former citadel, alongside the arsenal and governor's palace.
