The Església de Sant Andreu del Palomar is a neo-Gothic church set in the historic heart of the neighbourhood. The 19th-century building reflects its Romanesque past and preserves a pivotal moment in Catalan history: it was here, in 1640, that the spark of the War of the Reapers was ignited. Its stone façade, sculptures and stained glass engage in dialogue with monumental murals depicting everyday life. A space of faith and art, it marks the passage of time with the quiet authority of one that has witnessed centuries, balanced between sacred history and popular storytelling.
This is good to know
Although the current building dates from the 19th century, records confirm that an earlier Romanesque temple once stood on the same site, documented in the 10th century.
The parish occasionally organises heritage open days, giving visitors the opportunity to explore the Capella dels Segadors in depth.
