Church of Sant Salvador

TIME : 2016/2/19 1:42:22

The walls of Santuari de Sant Salvador (a walled fortress) were built in the 14th century to encompass the town itself and protect it from pirates or invaders. Now you’ll find only walkways, a simple cafeteria and an unremarkable salmon-coloured church , which was built in 1832 after the modest chapel that pre-dated it was purposely burnt to the ground following a cholera epidemic.
