Bonita iglesia, con mucho encanto, un interior con una muy bonita decoración, merece la pena que la visites si pasas por el pueblo What a fabulous place, stunning paintings on the walls and ceiling a must visit if you are in the area. Nomadic Globetrotters travelling YouTube. Beautiful church. It is one of the most emblematic monuments of the city and a clear testimony of the classicist baroque in Catalonia. The conjunction of austerity and simplicity give a monumental effect to the building, as we see in the interior spaces. In 1672 the bell tower of the Tàrrega parish church, a Romanesque building, fell, destroying part of the construction. Following the collapse of the bell tower on the old nave of the church, a new building was planned. This is how the current parish church of Santa Maria de l'Alba was built, the work of Fra Josep de la Concepció. The temple, erected between 1672 and 1742, was highly influenced by the neoclassical currents of the context and presents many of the distinctive features of the author's work. Fra Josep de la Concepció, a genius of Catalan Baroque art, is considered the most outstanding architect of the period. It is a church with a central nave with side chapels, in which we find a dome and a remarkable dome. Inside, and also outside, the criteria of austerity and simplicity with which Fra Josep conceived his works can be observed. A clear tendency towards monumentality is evident in the breadth of the interior space. However, following the author's constructive criteria, the temple, lacking superfluous ornaments, enjoys a system of harmonious proportions. On the outside, the belfry stands out, with a square plan and an octagonal tower, of considerable height and equipped with a large number of bells. Also noteworthy is the imposing Baroque facade, a complex carefully restored in the last century. The facade is divided into three parts and articulated by means of pilasters, thus reflecting the distribution of the naves. In the central part, which is higher and culminates with a triangular pediment, we find a large oculus and the portal. It is at this point, at the access door, that we observe the greatest movement of the facade, as we see in its undulating forms. Inside the temple are the relics of the Holy Thorns, an image of Santa Maria de l'Alba and a Gothic custodianship. At the same time, we must highlight the frescoes in the central nave, the work of the Targaryen Merece la pena venir a Tarrega aunque sólo fuera por ver el interior de esta iglesia. Sus balconeras y sus frescos son algo espectacular. De los interiores más bonitos que he visto nunca. En la entrada a la derecha está el monedero para iluminarla. Merece mucho la pena verla con luz. Beautiful historical building Be Una Iglesia muy bonita de estilo barroco con unas pinturas preciosas del artista de Tarrega Josep Minguell, (se dice la capilla sixtina de cataluña) esperto en pinturas al fresco, así como la imagen de santa Maria del Alba o la capilla de la Moreneta Si queréis ver bien las pinturas y hacer fotos hay que hechar 1€ para iluminar toda la iglesia, pero vale la pena. Recomiendo visitarla si vas a Tarrega. Una de las iglesias más bonitas de Catalunya. Su decoracion i su construccion son una pasada. Sus pinturas son muy bonitas. Es recomendable ir a Tàrrega por esta iglesia.
