Geocache Description:


ESGLESIA PARROQUIAL DE SANT JOAN

VILASSAR DE MAR, MARESME, BARCELONA.

By Catalunya team & Seping

 

La iglesia de Sant Joan de Vilassar se inició en el año 1727, cuando el vecindario aún dependía de Vilassar de Dalt y contaba a duras penas con 300 habitantes. Fué consagrada el 1745 y el 1779 fué segregada de ña parroquia de Sant Genís. De aquel primer templo sólo queda la portada barroca y el campanario octogonal. El resto de la obra es del 1946.
El portal, típica muestra del barroco popular ámpliamente extendido durante el siglo XVIII, presenta ornamentos con motivos pescadores, como un relieve donde figura Jesús caminando sobre las aguas, en una barca con San Pedro y otros personajes. La torre campanario responde igualmente a una estructura corriente en la época, aunque poco frecuente en el Maresme, con un primer nivel de planta cuadrada que se transforma en octogonal en los pisos superiores.
El interior del templo está decorado con pinturas de Josep Obiols, Joan Commeleran, Jordi Vila Rufas y en la cripta frescos de Leonci Quera.

The church of Sant Joan de Vilassar began in 1727, when the neighborhood yet depended on Vilassar de Dalt and it nearly had 300 inhabitants. It was consecrated on 1745 and 1779 was segregated Na parish of Sant Genís. From that first temple was only the cover and the baroque octagonal belfry. The rest of the work is 1946.
The site shows typical Baroque widely popular during the eighteenth century, introduced ornaments with fishing grounds, which contains a relief as Jesus walking on water in a boat to San Pedro and others. The bell tower responds to a current at the time, although rare in El Maresme, a first level of a square that becomes octagonal in the upper floors.
Inside the temple is decorated with paintings by Josep Obiols, Joan Commeleran, Jordi Vila Rufas and frescoes in the crypt of Leonci Quera.
