The number of evangelical worship places in Catalonia has increased by 100 in four years, making it the religious tradition which has experienced the “most significant growth” during the last 20 years.

There were 889 evangelical worship places as of 2024, 100 more than in 2020, which continues a steady pattern of growth which began in the late 19th century, mostly due to Pentecostal churches, according to the Religious Map of Catalonia.

While evangelicalism experiences healthy growth, the number of Catholic churches has declined by almost 300, although it still boasts 5,665, accounting for 78 percent of the region’s total number.
