Day 525 - 22/03/2015 : Prades, Santa Maria church

Finally, we entered into Prades, the town giving the name to this amazing land. We will be recognizing quickly the shape of the most relevant building, Santa Maria church.

This colorful church is a merge of styles, being considered a transition construction between Romanesque and Gothic eras but with Renaissance topics in the facade.

The door on the right side is called 'la porta falsa' (false door) belongs to the runes from the old Romanesque city and it was the main entrance to the church in times when the current Santisim chapel was the main altar.

The whole building is itself the main one in Plaça Major when all the visitors are captivated at first sight.

Wonderful !
