Sant Miquel church

Everything seems to indicate that, in the year 1006, the Romanesque church of Sant Miquel was already consecrated, although there are no documents to verify this. If this were true, construction of the church would have begun during the previous nine years. The church is built under a large cave

and has a nave linked, at the eastern end, to an irregular semi-circular apse. The current south-facing entrance consists of a semi-circular arched doorway with a simple archivolt and two columns on each side with bases and capitals decorated with floral motifs. The roof of the church is formed by the cave itself. The interior underwent many alterations, especially in the late 16th and 19th centuries. A low bell-gable is mounted on the south side, since the way the church is built into the cave made it impossible to place it on top. By the middle of the 18th century, the vaults in the chancel and that of the chapels (from the 14th and 15th centuries three are documented) had already been built. The vaults are Renaissance inspired and the points where they meet feature two keystones. The cloister of Sant Miquel forms a corridor right in front of the church’s façade.
