The church of San Vicente Mártir is a Romanesque church built at the end of the 12th or beginning of the 13th century. Originally, it was supposed to have a basilica plan with three naves in four sections each, but a drastic reform in the 16th century reduced it to just one, and another reform in the 17th century completely removed its original head and disguised its interior, so that only the sidewalls and the gable are preserved in Romanesque style.

The San Vicens Church, dedicated to Saint Vincent, is located in Mantet, in Occitania, in the department of Pyrénées Orientales. It is a Romanesque church that was built at the beginning of the 12th century. It consists of a simple vaulted nave in a cradle, covered in thick slates. It has a semicircular apse surmounted by an arcaded steeple. The church, anchored in the rock, forms, with the houses of the village, a harmonious architectural ensemble.

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.

The Church of Sant Joan Baptista is a Gothic church built between the 14th and 16th centuries. It has a single nave covered by a cross vault with three former arches.

The Church of Sant Josep de Maó was built in 1738 by the community of builders, carpenters and boiler makers, dedicated to Sant Josep. It is a building of a very simple style, with a single nave, with small chapels on each side.

The Church of Sant Romà is a Lombard Romanesque building built in the 11th century and consecrated in 1062.

The Church of Sant'Agostino is a reconstruction, at the beginning of the 19th century, of the Convent of Sant'Agostino, founded in 1309. Inside there is the Virgin of Constantinople, now at the altar, but originally displayed in a chapel in the convent courtyard. She was found in 1453 on the beach in front of the convent and is thought to have come from Constantinople, hence the name. From the beginning, it received great popular devotion, still alive today, by virtue of the miraculous powers attributed to it.

The church of Sant'Andrea al Quirinale was built between 1658 and 1670 on a design by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The façade opens onto a small cemetery widened by two concave wings, illusively enlarging the space on the model of the colonnade of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, also by Bernini.
