Description

The parish church of Santa Maria is a Gothic place of worship in the heart of Sineu, its striking silhouette defining the skyline of this charming inland town.

Architecture and Interior

The exterior of the church is soberly Gothic, forming a striking contrast with an interior brought to life by beautiful stained-glass windows — its most impressive feature, which comes into its own in natural daylight. Rather than a single central high altar, the interior is home to several side altars and chapels. The atmosphere is calm and meditative. A sundial can be found on the façade, and the bell tower is separated from the nave by a bridge.

Location

The church stands on a hilltop in the very centre of Sineu — on the Plaça Sant Marc — and is visible from many points around the town. The churchyard sits directly alongside the market square.

Combining Your Visit with the Weekly Market

Sineu's weekly market takes place on Wednesdays and spreads around the churchyard. A visit to Santa Maria pairs perfectly with a wander around the market, making it a natural double bill for anyone exploring the town on a Wednesday.

Candles and Quiet Moments

Candles can be lit inside the church. Liturgical music plays softly in the background, adding to the solemn and peaceful character of the space.
