Església de la Puríssima Concepció i Assumpció de Nostra Senyora
Lonely Planet review for Església de la Puríssima Concepció i Assumpció de Nostra Senyora
One hardly expects to run into a medieval church on the grid pattern streets of the late-19th-century city extension, yet that is just what this is. Transferred stone by stone from the old centre in 1871–88, this 14th-century church has a pretty 16th-century cloister with a peaceful garden. Behind is a Romanesque-Gothic bell tower (11th to 16th century), moved from another old town church that didn’t survive, Església de Sant Miquel. This is one of a handful of such old churches shifted willy-nilly from their original locations to l’Eixample.
