Parish of the Nativity of Mary

Parish of the Nativity of Mary

A Gothic church with a semicircular apse, Renaissance altarpiece, and a unique bell tower offers historical intrigue and architectural beauty for tourists.

Pratdip had a first Romanesque church, documented in a papal bull of 1154. Of that first construction, only the semicircular apse remains, probably from the late 12th century. At that time, it was the subject of a dispute between the dioceses of Tarragona and Tortosa and, as agreed in 1203, it was definitively incorporated into that of Tortosa. Apart from the apse, the rest of the building is the result of later alterations. It is a Gothic building, with a single nave covered by two bays of cross-vaulting, and side chapels. At the choir end is the reredos, above a lowered arch, with imposts and jambs with vertical ashlar blocks. The main façade is quite austere and lost its symmetry with the construction, on one side, of a large bell tower made of exposed brick. The doorway is a segmental arch, with dressed stone. It was restored in 1959. Inside the church, in a side chapel, is the Renaissance altarpiece of Santa Marina, from 1602 (see entry). Next to the apse is a tombstone of the carcerer Jaume de Carcassona, from 1238.
