Located 3,5 km from the centre of Lloret. The earliest reference to it dates back to 1376. The current temple, built at the end of the XVIII century, is neo-classical with an extraordinary marble altar made in Italy and an interesting collection of votive offerings and miniature ships.
Under the "centennial pine tree" during the Festa Major (Festival of Santa Cristina, on the 24h of July), all the fishermen hold their lunch of brotherhood where the typical dish estofat is served.
Santa Cristina has its own personality. The work was paid for by the residents of Lloret, some contributing significant sums, while the fishing employers contributed a large part of their profits. Even those whose poverty prevented them from contributing to the work with money collaborated by helping with the work on holidays. The meeting point for all these locals was the Church Square; from there they would walk to Santa Cristina de Vall -Arnau where they would hear mass in the old hermitage which stood inside the confines of the hermitage under construction, since it was not permitted that the old hermitage be destroyed until the new one had been built. Greco-Roman is the predominant architectural style.
The most important aspect from an artistic point of view is the high altar of different coloured marble. The altarpiece is a large painting by an unknown author of the Tuscani school depicting the death of Saint Christine, shot with an arrow before governor Julianus. The nave and sacristy contain a collection of ex voto offerings of miniature ships offered up to the Saint by mariners. The most famous of these are the Sebastià Gumà, awarded a silver medal on the island of Cuba, a 62-cannon ship, and a small delicately crafted ship in ivory, all from the XVIII century. Over the centuries, the devotion to Santa Cristina also moved residents to acquire there of the Saint's most important relics; the skull, a rib and a femur. The rib and thigbone were lost after the Uprising of 1936. The skull and a small bone have been preserved, the latter being paraded in a maritime procession during the Santa Cristina festivities each year.
