Day 345 - 22/08/2014 : Sant Feliu de Barruera

The church of Sant Feliu is situated slightly to the north of Barruera.

The village lies at a strategic point where the valley widens out and was connected with a nearby abbey in the Middle Ages which has now disappeared.

The church has a single surviving nave of the three originally built, with a barrel vault and a semicircular apse. It has a square transept and apse to the south and square chapel to the north.

A simple, undecorated bell tower lies at the southeast corner. Renovations were undertaken in the 16th century, adding two Gothic chapels to the main nave, and a Gothic western facade.

It's worth it to visit !!!
