One of the landmarks of Lloret de Mar, the Parish Church of Sant Romà bears the imprint of Catalan modernism and is a must-see attraction on your stroll through the town centre.

Originally built in the Catalan Gothic style, between 1509 and 1522, the church was equipped with fortifications such as a portcullis and had a single nave.

The painters Pere Serafí (known as “the Greek”) and Jaume Fontanet were commissioned by the town councillors of Lloret to produce a reredos for the main altar in 1541.

The two side chapels (Baptistery and Holiest Sacrament) were built by Bonaventura Conill i Montobbio in the Catalan modernist style in 1916. There are also examples of modern art in the church, such as the stone carving of Our Lady of Loreto and a carving of the Holy Christ, both produced by the sculptor Monjo.

The parish church celebrates the feast day of Saint Anthony the Great on 17 January with the traditional blessing of horses. Other important events in its calendar include the Good Friday procession and the festivities of Corpus Christi.
