The Església de Sant Esteve (Church of Saint Stephen) is neoclassical and dates back to the seventeenth century. With a single nave, its façade is quite simple, with an open rose window above the triangular tympanum that tops the entrance door. There are chapels between the buttresses, a polygonal apse, cross-ribbed vaults and a semicircular arch over the entrance covered by two Ionic columns. Numerous cane-shaped pergolas try to interfere with the purity of this Renaissance work’s lines. The belltower, which definitely once had a twofold function as a watchtower, rises up today still with no foundation over the altar of the Mare de Déu del Roser.
The Church of Sant Esteve is one of the features included on the route to get to know the historic centre of Vila-seca via the heritage monuments with a QR code.
