Església de Sant Agustí de Barcelona, Neoclassical church in El Raval, Spain
Description
Sant Agustí church is a building in El Raval that combines Neoclassical and Baroque features in its architecture and layout. The structure displays five arches at the entrance, a vaulted central hall, and a domed ceiling with a small tower on top.
History
The original Augustinian convent was destroyed in 1718, leading to the construction of this new church between 1728 and 1760 under architect Pere Bertran. This building replaced what had stood before at the same location.
Culture
Today this church serves the Filipino community and brings together people from many backgrounds who gather for worship and spiritual life. You can observe how a historic religious space has become a living place where different cultures share the same faith.
Practical
The church is open to visitors during the day at set times, allowing you to explore the interior at your own pace. It is worth checking the opening times before your visit, as they may change depending on religious services.
Did you know?
In 1971 opponents of Franco's rule met here and established a major political movement against his regime. The building thus holds an important place in recent Catalan history beyond its religious role.
