Tarrasa - Santa María

The church of Santa María was a Visigothic basilica which was enlarged in the 12th century in Catalan Romanesque style. In front of the church are remains of a fourth century mosaic. The church itself has very interesting wall paintings depicting the story of St Thomas Becket, the murdered archbishop of Canterbury. The magnificent Gothic retablos were the work of Jaume Huguet, Lluis Borrassà, Jaume Cirera and Guillerm Talarn.
