Esglesia de Sant Feliu
About
The Collegiate Church of Sant Felix, also known as La Col·legiata de Sant Feliu, stands as one of Girona’s most captivating historic churches. Originally founded in the 12th century and refined through the 17th, the church showcases a remarkable blend of Romanesque foundations, a soaring Gothic nave, and a richly ornamented Baroque façade that tells the story of the city’s evolving architectural tastes. Visitors are treated to an impressive interior where early Christian art thrives—especially the collection of eight Roman and early‑Christian sarcophagi dating back to the 3rd and 4th centuries, and the storied Gothic tomb of Bishop Narcissus of Girona. The basilica’s tranquil setting near the Onyar River, combined with its long religious heritage and artistic treasures, makes Sant Felix a must‑visit destination for those seeking both spiritual reflection and a deep dive into Catalan history. Open to the public daily, the church welcomes pilgrims, history buffs, and architecture lovers alike, offering the chance to experience centuries of faith and craftsmanship up close.
