The Mother Church was built on the same site as the ancient medieval church, from which the two stylophore lions now placed at the sides of the entrance portal belong. The architecture of the structure has a clear Romanesque layout, on which late Gothic and Catalan influences were later superimposed. The construction began in the 15th century and was possibly completed in 1562. The building has a square plan and consists of five naves, with the central one, featuring a coffered wooden ceiling, connecting to the chancel and an elevated hexagonal apse. At the chancel’s location, the remains of the bases of the pillars from the 11th-century church are still present. The small lateral naves\u2019 vaults are also of particular value, clearly showing Catalan influence, as does the wooden pulpit from 1608, which is listed among the national monuments. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
