The Augustine friars commissioned this church, consecrated as a parish church in 1529. Its patron saint is St Andrew. The church’s style is
late Gothic
, except for the upper tiers and steeple, which are characteristic of the
late-Baroque
era.
St Andrew’s Church suffered considerable damage during the
Iconoclast
and the
French Revolution
but was carefully restored between 1970 and 1975.
Eye-catching features
include the 17th century monumental high altar, the beautiful pulpit (created in 1821) and its unique and precious reliquary of the 36 Saints.
