Santa Maria de Cadaqués
At the highest point of Cadaqués, we find the Church of Santa Maria, which offers extraordinary panoramic views of the bay.
Its origin can be traced back to a temple built in the 13th century, which was set on fire in 1543 during the raids of the Saracen pirates. In the 16th century, the construction of the new late Gothic style temple began, with a single nave and side chapels, which was finally consecrated in 1642. Its interior houses a beautiful baroque altarpiece dedicated to the Virgin, a work by sculptors Pau Costa and Joan Torras.
