Church of Sant Feliu de Girona

The Collegiate Church of Saint Felix was built in the early Middle Ages around the burial place of the martyr Feliu the African. It served as Girona's main church until the completion of Girona Cathedral between the 11th and 13th centuries. The history of Sant Feliu is difficult to trace, as it is often confused with that of the Cathedral.
