Chapel of el Roser de Valls

Monument · Valls, Alt Camp, Tarragona

The Capella del Roser, in the old town of Valls (Alt Camp, Tarragona), declared a cultural asset of national interest, has a single nave with four bays and a barrel vault with lunettes; inside are paintings by Anton Català Gomis and sculptures by the local artist Josep Busquets i Òdena, and on the side walls, glazed tile panels from the early 17th century, one of the most important ceramic ensembles of the period. The Renaissance façade, between party walls, has the stone portal below and a niche with the Virgin of the Roser above. It was built from 1588, commissioned by the Confraternity of the Roser from the master builder Jaume Solsona; the present structure dates from 1634, the year the tiles were placed commemorating the Christian victory at the Battle of Lepanto (1571).
