Church of Salomó

Monument · Salomó, Tarragonès, Tarragona

Church of Santa María de Salomó, in Romanesque style and documented since the 13th century, with a round-arch portal decorated with a checkerboard pattern and reliefs of castles and Greek and Maltese crosses on the façade. It has a Latin-cross plan inscribed in a rectangle, extended between the 18th and 19th centuries with the chapel of the Santo Cristo (1708-1715), with a Greek-cross plan and an apse with eight windows, decorated with frescoes of the evangelists and gilded floral motifs. It was restored from 1962 onwards by the architect Jordi Bonet i Armengol, and has been declared a Bien de Interés Cultural Local (local-level heritage protection designation) since 2017.
