Day 393 - 09/10/2014 : Queralbs, Sant Jaume Romanesque church

Queralbs was entirely destroyed in the Catalan earthquake of 1428 whose epicenter was in nearby Camprodon.

Although it takes a while to the town to recover from that disaster, not the town is proud to have one of the most representative Romanesque buildings in the entire area which was saved from the earthquake.

Sant Jaume church came originally from 10th Century but was rebuilt in 12th Century to become the current building. The most relevant element is considered to be the porch covering the south wall, one of the best inside the Catalan Romanesque.


Like a prayer !!!
