A placa que a identifica diz que é a construção gótica mais representativa de Girona. É dedicada a S. Félix (ou S. Feliu em catalão), há dúvidas sobre o seu local de nascimento, dizem que foi em Itália e terá sido um mártir que morreu na cidade espanhola.
A igreja está localizada numa simpática praça com o mesmo nome, á volta dela cafés/restaurantes com esplanada tornam o espaço muito agradável e seguramente que de noite será um dos locais de eleição para comer ou tomar um copo com vista para a imponente fachada onde se destaca a sua torre campanário desenhada por Pere Sacoma o mesmo da Catedral de Sta. Maria que também podemos ver na cidade.

The church is located in a nice square of the same name, around it cafes / restaurants with outdoor seating make the space very pleasant and surely that in the evening it is one of the favorite spots to eat or drink overlooking the imposing façade that it's main highlight is the bell tower designed by Pere Sacoma the same from the Cathedral of St. Mary that we can also see in the city.

A sua construção se foi prolongando ao longo dos séculos (XIII-XVIII), isso fez com o que o seu estilo gótico se vá misturando com outros como o românico e o barroco.
No exterior está um sepulcro cuja placa não nos ajuda a entender de quem seria, foi das primeiras vezes que vi um fora de uma igreja e colocado numa parede. Segundo a descrição da igreja, no seu interior estarão oito sepulcros romanos e dos primeiros tempos do cristianismo. Infelizmente não pudémos visitar o seu interior porque há hora que passeámos pela cidade a igreja estava fechada, não entendemos bem o porquê dizem que o seu horário será das 9h30-14h e das 16h-19h, mas ficará para uma próxima passagem em Girona.
Its construction was extending over centuries (XIII-XVIII), which means that it's gothic style is mixing with others like Romanesque and Baroque.
Outside is a tomb whose sign does not help us understand who could be inside, it was the first time I saw one outside a church and placed on a wall. According to the description of the church, inside there are eight Roman tombs and from the early Christian times. Unfortunately we weren't able to visit it inside because at the time we strolled through the city the church was closed, not fully understand why they say that it's from 9:30 am-14h and 16h-19h, but we will try it next time in Girona.
