Church of Sant Feliu d'Alella

Monument · Alella, Maresme, Barcelona

Sant Feliu d'Alella is the parish church of Alella, declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest. Its first stone was laid on 9 September 1454 and the works were completed in 1463, being enlarged between 1611 and 1613 once it became too small. After the 1878 demolition of the Virreina palace in Gràcia, its bells were moved to the belfry of this church; in 1886 the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament was built and in 1975 the main altar was renovated, to a design by Lluís Bonet i Garí, on the occasion of the millennium of the place name Alella. It has a single nave with a pentagonal apse and six side chapels, with a façade with a Baroque portal and, beside it, a Gothic voussoired portal that today gives access to the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament.
