The Church of Santa María and San Nicolás is a parish church in the city of Calella and is dedicated to the Assumption and San Nicolás de Bari and is in neoclassical style. It was built in 1747 and expanded in 1785. It preserves the old building from 1543-64 (it was consecrated this last year), collapsed as a result of the fall of the bell tower. The current temple was designed by Josep Morató in 1747. After the total destruction and burning of the interior in 1936, it was rebuilt in 1939 and, finally, on September 23, 1951, the completely rebuilt temple was inaugurated. It is a work of the municipality of Calella (Barcelona) included in the Inventory of the Architectural Heritage of Catalonia.

Very beautiful church!
Was rebuilt twice in the 18th century, the history of the parish dates back to the 16th century.

Beautiful church in the heart of Calella that is relatively plain and simple; but worth a visit
