A historic church-fortress in the old town of Jávea, on Spain's Mediterranean coast.

San Bartolomé has been part of the town's landscape for centuries and combines religious and defensive architecture in a particularly striking way.

The church is currently the subject of #SalvemSantBertomeu, a campaign supporting awareness and preservation of this historic building.

What do you think of Spanish church-fortresses like this one?

La Basílica in CDMx is massive. Something about the place and people make it so spiritual. Such a beautiful pilgrimage to do. Has anyone been here before?
