Église Saint-Jacques de Perpignan, Gothic church in Saint-Jacques district, Perpignan, France

Saint-Jacques Church features a single nave with five bays, lateral chapels deeper on the north side, and a polygonal apse built in white marble.

The church was established between 1260 and 1280 at the request of James I of Aragon during the urban expansion of Perpignan.

The Sanch Brotherhood conducts its traditional Good Friday procession from this church, maintaining a tradition that began in 1416.

Located on Miranda Street, the church maintains its symphonic organ created between 1808 and 1816 by the Grinda brothers.

Archaeological excavations in 2001 uncovered 165 ceramic vases from the 15th century embedded within the structure to reduce its weight.
