Tips

Francesc Garcia - MONTFRANC

April 12, 2024

The Romanesque church

The current church of Sant Andreu was built on top of a Romanesque church that was in the same place. Although the first reference places it in the 12th century, the original trace is not known. It had smaller dimensions and was also dedicated to Sant Andreu. Beyond its walls, there was a moat on the southern facade, which was the first cemetery of La Selva. Right in front of the church there was a porch where the General Councils of the town and, on occasion, those of the Comuna del Camp met.

The Renaissance church

The current church of Sant Andreu dates from the end of the 16th century and was designed by Pere Blai (1553-1621). It is one of the few works of the Mannerist Renaissance in Catalonia and is distinguished by its rectangular plan, the lateral chapels communicating with each other and the height inspired by the proportions of Vitruvius Man. The dome on a drum, one of the most innovative architectural features of the building, help to distinguish the church on the horizon.
