Beautiful late 19th-century church built next to the railway

Mediterranean Spain Tour ~ Girona (Region) This is a church located in the city of Portbou. It sits atop a small hill and was constructed by the Tarragona Railway Company of Barcelona and France. Positioned at the town's highest point, the station square, it was built to serve the religious needs of railway workers. The church features a Neo-Gothic architectural style, making it a striking landmark within the urban complex. Its stained glass windows are particularly notable, with the apse showcasing an image of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in the center, flanked by depictions of Apostle Saint James and the Three Kings. The bell tower is octagonal in shape, crowned with a massive iron cross. Visiting this site is definitely worthwhile, as it offers not only a glimpse into history but also stunning views of the surrounding area, making it a delightful destination.
