Next to the main entrance of the Dali museum, you can find the Sant Pere church. The view is much nicer if you go the other way around (see picture). It was probably raised on the site of a former early Christian church during the 10th-11th century. Towards the end of the 14th century King Peter the Ceremonious ordered the construction of a new church in Figueres, and a Gothic-style church was raised over the romanesque building. At the end of the 19th century the dome was rebuilt. And also during the Spanish Civil War and WW II, the church was severely damaged.
