Iglesia de San Jaime (Barcelona)

This church is located in Calle Ferrán, one of the main streets of the Barri Gòtic,, which connects the important Plaza de Sant Jaume where you can find the Ayuntamiento and the Palau de la Generalitat. This church, which was built at the end of the 19th Century, is on the place where originally the main synagogue of the city was located. The ground plan shows three naves with little chapels on both sides of the aisles. Only the front is left over of the original construction, which dates back to the 15th and 16th Centuries. The Gothic altar is the old high altar of cathedral, which was moved to this church in 1970.
