The church of Sant Martí de Palafrugell was built between 993 and 1019, but from this construction only a wall lock is preserved in the current "string room". At the end of the 14th century and in the 15th century, the church was restored and expanded. In addition to religious use, the church was also used for municipal assemblies and as the headquarters of the guilds. Between 1588 and 1599 the church was expanded again. The central nave is configured as it is now. Between the 16th and 17th centuries the façade was built, but the wars of the mid-century stopped the work on the bell tower. Between 1760 and 1763 the Fonda Chapel was built and around the same time the rest of the southern chapels were expanded, forming a kind of lateral nave. The bell tower project is probably from 1762, but the Great War against the French in 1793 left it unfinished again.
Birthday parties, bar, pizza.
La Guitarra is a leading jazz club in Palafrugell and the entire Costa Brava. It was founded in the summer of 1962, when French pianist Jimmy Rena and his wife Mano Rena opened the first jazz club on the Costa Brava on Canadell beach. We open every summer, enriching the nights of Palafrugell with a unique, unconventional touch, which has been enjoyed by both locals and tourists.
