Church of San Froilán

It belonged to the former hospital of San Juan de Dios. It is located in Ferrol Square, near the Puerta Falsa.

 

Its origin was a chapel linked to the now-disappeared hospital of San Bertomeu, founded in 1621, which a hundred years later came to be managed by the brothers of San Juan de Dios.

 

It was built in its current form in 1768 during the times of Bishop Izquierdo. It is covered by a barrel vault with a small central dome.


It has a Baroque façade with the bishop's coat of arms and is crowned by a statue of San Rafael, the medical archangel. The image of San Bertomeu presides over the door, and the façade is flanked by two bell towers.

 

With the disappearance of the hospital due to a fire in 1878, the chapel soon became the parish church of San Froilán.

Built: 17th-19th centuries.
