Municipal Auditorium of Sant Francesc
Religious building (originally a convent) built in the 17th-19th centuries in a historicist style.
Typology/Elements
Church with a rectangular floor plan and corner, 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, choir at the rear that communicates with the triforium raised above the chapels, and a round apse with a little chapel.
Facades: the main one formed by a taller central 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 on the pediment and on the dividing line of the first floor. The 17th-century portal inside the atrium stands out. Almost blind side facade.
