Iglesia de Esporles (Sant Pere)

Religious | Esporles

The church of San Pedro, a huge mass, at least for the dimensions of this town, which stands proudly in the middle of the Plaza de España. One looks at its neo-Gothic façade and the large central rose window, shining in the sun, seems to return your gaze. Not surprisingly, despite being unfinished, it is considered the great architectural work of the municipality, based on a project by Gaspar Bennàssar. It is dedicated to San Pedro, patron saint of Esporles, and its construction began in 1904, when its first stone kissed the ground of this square. Two decades later, its facade was already scratching the sky of the Tramontana mountain range, although unfinished, like the bell tower. Nevertheless, there it remains, surprising the unsuspecting passerby.
