Located northwest of the outer city, in the area of the city's extension during the time of the Spanish protectorate, the Church of St. Bartholomew is a delicate neo-Moorish style temple built by the Franciscans from Spain in the early twentieth century. Painted immaculate white, it is located a few meters from the sea. The sound of the bells that call for mass every Sunday is a constant reminder of the importance of the religious coexistence of the citizens.
