Templo neobizantino construido entre 1902 y 1914 por Fernando Arbós. Su interior brilla con mosaicos, mármoles de Carrara y Macael, y una rica decoración de teselas. Historia fascinante: fue sede de los agustinos y del Partido Comunista. Sobresale por su originalidad estética y espiritualidad urbana.

Preciosa iglesia neobizantina. Entrada gratis
