Basílica de Santa Maria de Vilafranca del Penedès, Gothic basilica in Vilafranca del Penedès, Spain.
The Basilica of Santa Maria features a central nave with five cross-vaulted sections and five lateral chapels on each side between the buttresses.
The church construction began in the 13th century as the first example of Gothic architecture in Catalonia, replacing an earlier Romanesque chapel at the site.
The basilica holds regular religious services and ceremonies for the local community while maintaining its status as a Cultural Asset of National Interest.
Visitors can access the basilica through two entrances, with the main neogothic door facing Plaça Jaume I and a secondary entrance on Santa Maria Street.
The octagonal bell tower stands independently from the main structure, reaching a height of 52 meters with two distinct sections.
