At the top of the village after climbing the pebble streets, we discover this white church similar to all the fishermen's houses. In Gothic style it was built from the 16th century and finished in the 18th century. Inside you can admire a magnificent baroque altarpiece all in gilding dating from 1725. On its left is a prayer room. The stained glass windows and the organ are located above the entrance portal

Cadaqués is easy to navigate. Even on the winding approach you can see the church, which stands above the old town. The carefully restored Gothic church of Santa María with its white façade, which houses a magnificent Baroque altar, is worth seeing. Modernist architecture has also left its own mark on some of the town's most remarkable buildings, such as the Casa Serinyena. From up here you also have a beautiful view of the sea.

The baroque altarpiece of the church is exactly 12 meters wide and 23 meters (!) high ... and I know it quite well because I have visited this church over more than 30 years & countless times ... and also - to honor this church & cadasques - have personally created- and illustrated the de.Wikipedia article (Santa Maria (Cadaqués)). - By inserting a boring 1 euro coin (-1- €) every visitor can illuminate the huge altarpiece (...the sculptor Pau Costa and Joan Torras...) wonderfully for several seconds (...just enough time for the obligatory photos, which are tolerated here). - The organ of the church of Josep Boscà dates from the late 17th century. - Otherwise, the church looks quite simple from the outside, but very worthy ... and is absolutely dominant on the highest point of the old town centre of Cadaques ... and could now really do with (!) a fresh / white paint. - From the forecourt of the church you have a wonderful view of the blue sea and the countless small & anchoring boats. The most beautiful view of the church itself can be enjoyed from the sea ... for example from the tourist boats "Els Blaus" or the "Don Pancho" ... coming from Roses & landing in Cadaques. - The short & quite steep ascent over ancient cobblestones (!) to the church is (...for us...) always mandatory ... and also good for body & especially. Soul ! --- (After that, however, for us it is immediately & very profane downhill ... to the bar "Casino" by the sea ... on a always very well cooled & "deserved Estrella dam on tap ... of the great Spanish people !")

This all-white church is located on a height overlooking Cadaques, the view from the front of the church is very beautiful and relaxing. The interior of the church is surprising with a huge baroque gilded wooden ensemble. On the left there is an oratory arranged for silence and prayer.
