Church of Sant Esteve, Olot

The Church of Sant Esteve exhibits strong symmetrical proportions with clean architectural lines, featuring a grand stone facade and prominent central entrance.

The church's construction began in the late eighteenth century, replacing an earlier structure from 977, and reached completion under architect Blai de Trincheria's direction.

The Parochial Treasury Museum within the church contains valuable artworks, including an El Greco painting and collections of gold and silver craftsmanship.

Located at Plaça Rector Ferrer 1 in Olot, the church stands at 440 meters elevation and maintains regular visiting hours through the Tourist Information Centre.

Three empty niches on the church facade mark where stone saint sculptures stood before their destruction during the Spanish Civil War.
