A few metres from the Passeig de Gràcia and a bit further on from the Casa de Les Puntxes you will find this beautiful unique church, which was built at the beginning of the 20th century in Byzantine style. Following this style, it was built in the shape of a Greek cross, which means that all four arms of the cross are of the same length. The Byzantine style also becomes very clear inside the church with its multi-coloured frescos decorating the walls and the ceilings of this temple. Especially the size of this church has made it one of the most impressive modernist buildings in Barcelona.
