Church of Mollet del Vallès

Monument · Mollet del Vallès, Vallès Oriental, Barcelona

The church of Sant Vicenç is the parish church of Mollet del Vallès, on Carrer d'Espanya, within the comarca of the Vallès Oriental (Barcelona). The previous temple, Gothic in style and decorated in 1530 with altarpieces by the sculptor Martí Díez de Liatzasolo, was destroyed in 1936, except for the bell. The present building was erected after the war to the design of the architect Francesc Folguera, with red brick walls, a basilica plan of three naves — the central one wider, on round arches — and a square-tower bell tower topped with windows and clocks. Inside are preserved paintings by Joaquim Mir, Jaume Busquets i Mollera and Joan Abelló, and sculptures by Manel Martí i Cabré and Francesc Juventeny. It is listed as bien cultural de interés local (a municipal-level heritage protection designation).
