Santa Maria de Portbou
The Church of Santa Maria de Portbou is located near the train station of the same municipality.
We must look for the origin of the church in the late 19th century, when the train station of Portbou and the railway line towards France were built. In this context, and in order to provide religious service to the workers related to the railroad, the construction of this temple was promoted through private financing.
The church was built between 1878 and 1893, under the direction of the architect Joan Martorell i Montells. Its architectural style, linked to the neo-Gothic movement, stands out.
