Things to see at San Bartolomé Apóstol Parish Church in Jávea

Built with solid ashlar walls, San Bartolomé Apóstol Parish Church has a single nave, chapels set between buttresses and a star-shaped ribbed vault.

Its exterior still reflects the defensive role it once played, with machicolations above the entrances, a flat roof terrace and a tower forming part of the apse. The building also has two notable Gothic doorways: the main entrance, dedicated to San Bartolomé, with a pointed arch and pinnacles, and the side entrance of San Gil, reached by its characteristic double staircase. A visit to San Bartolomé Apóstol Parish Church reveals how religious and military architecture were combined within the fabric of Jávea’s historic centre.
