Municipal Auditorium of Sant Francesc

Typology/Elements

Church with a rectangular plan and corner bay, with two party walls. It is part of the urban fabric. It has a nave with 5 transverse arches and four-point vaults between them. Side chapels with groin vaults, a choir at the end that communicates with the triforium raised above the chapels, and a round apse with a chapel.

Façades: the main one formed by a taller body and two symmetrical side bodies that correspond to the internal structure of the building. It is accessed through an atrium with three round arches, above which Neo-Romanesque windows appear. Blind arcades in the gable and in the dividing line of the first floor. The 17th-century portal inside the atrium stands out. Almost blind side façade.
