The construction of the church began in 1719. The covering is Gothic in style with a cross vault and pointed arches. The single nave culminates in a rectangular chapel under a lower pointed arch that contains the altar. Particularly interesting are the neoclassical portals that connect to the sacristy. From 1736 the side chapels were opened between the buttresses with barrel vaults and arches with columns decorated with spirals and zigzags. The Capella de la Concepció deserves special mention. This octagonal chapel was built between 1745 and 1752. The floral decoration pervades the columns that separate the eight small chapels with superimposed galleries. The hemispherical dome contrasts, due to its simplicity, with the very rich decoration of the lower part. Although the author is unknown, the influence of the works of the masters of the Amorós family (the transept and the chapel of Gràcia, the chapel of the Ànimes of the Cathedral, Roser, el Socors, the Saura palace) seems evident. The façade and the bell tower were built in 1775. The portal with flared arches seems to be inspired by the Romanesque, but the door jamb is Renaissance. Other decorative motifs present in the temple date back to the beginning of the century, such as the murals (in grisaille) that adorn the presbytery and depict scenes from the life of Saint Francis.

You only have to walk 500 meters if you want to get to the back area. The beach itself starts right at the parking lot.

The city gate Portal de Sant Roc (built around 1500) is the only remaining gate of the medieval city wall.

Very nice! But you have to push your bike on the beach, the sand is too deep...

Definitely worth a visit!

Very nice view towards the harbor

The only remaining part of what were once the medieval walls surrounding the town of Mahon, El Portal de San Roque was built around 1359.
