Basilica of Saint Eulalia of Mérida
Basilica of Saint Eulalia of Mérida, Romanesque basilica in Mérida, Spain
The Basilica of Saint Eulalia exhibits rounded arches, thick stone walls, and architectural elements characteristic of medieval religious buildings in western Spain.
The church stands on the site where Saint Eulalia, a twelve-year-old Christian girl, faced martyrdom during the persecution under Emperor Diocletian in 304.
The basilica maintains its status as a bien de interés cultural, representing the early Christian heritage of Mérida within the Archaeological Ensemble complex.
Visitors can access the basilica through guided tours that explain the architectural features, religious artifacts, and historical significance of this medieval structure.
A white dove sculpture above the altar commemorates the legend that this bird emerged from Saint Eulalia's mouth at the moment of her death.
