Sant Vicenç de Tossa

The church of Sant Vicenç de Tossa is located in the Vila Nova of Tossa de Mar.

The old church of Tossa was located in Vila Vella, near where the lighthouse is currently found. The progressive increase in the population of the town and the consequent occupation of spaces outside the walls generated the need to build the church in this new urban nucleus. The works began in 1755, and it was not until 1776 that it was finally consecrated. The financing of the church is strongly linked to the economic growth that Tossa de Mar experienced with the permits for free trade with the American colonies.

The monument is stylistically situated in the late Baroque period and is made up of a central nave and five chapels on each side.
It is worth noting that its bell tower is not very tall. This is probably due to the construction problems that occurred during the construction of the building because of the water table.
