Located on the north slope of the sierra de Sant Miquell del Mont, the church was donated to the monastery of Riudaura in 858 and later in 953 it became under the jurisdiction of Santa Maria de la Grassa.
It was
quite badly damaged by the earthquakes in the 15th century, but it
preserves a great deal of its original architecture, which corresponds
to the 12th century. There is just one nave but, at a later date, a
chapel was added onto each side giving it the form of a cross. The
chancel is formed by an apse, where there are three windows with
half-pointed arches, a capitol and a frieze held by buttresses.
Lovely !
