Church of Sant Vicenç dels Horts

Monument · Sant Vicenç dels Horts, Baix Llobregat, Barcelona

Parish church that gives its name to the municipality of Sant Vicenç dels Horts, in the Baix Llobregat. It is a Baroque temple rebuilt between 1718 and 1725 after the fire that destroyed the earlier building in 1717, with a single rectangular nave without a prominent apse, side chapels between buttresses, and an interior decorated with paintings on liturgical themes and floral motifs. It was consecrated on 22 April 1725. The altar and the grille, destroyed during the Civil War, were rebuilt between 1939 and 1941 by the architect Francesc Folguera i Grassi, and in 1997 the bell tower was restored and the façade clad in marble. It is listed as a cultural asset of local interest.
