Church of Bethlehem


The Església de Betlem, or Church of Bethlehem, is a Baroque Catholic Church located right on Barcelona's famous Las Ramblas. This is a rare example of a baroque church in Barcelona and is located at La Rambla, 107 with the main entrance at Carrer del Carme, 2.
Constructed between the years 1680 and 1729, it was founded as a Jesuit church until their expulsion from Spain in the 1767.
 Interior of the church





 During the Christmas season it displays delightful Nativity scenes.

What we see today is a relatively austere church consisting of a single nave with altarpieces from other churches and private collections placed in the side chapels.
