Attractions and Places To See around Perafita - Top 20

Very curious temple due to its proportions. It has preserved its entire structure in its primitive elements. The only tagline made in the course of its history was the belfry on the wall opposite the apse. Rectangular plan with a single nave crowned to the east by a semicircular apse. It is covered with a barrel vault reinforced by a single main arch. The covers were non-existent; that of the nave has been resolved with Arab tiles while that of the apse is with stone slabs very well cut and jointed. Below this cover there is a course of very regular rectangular stones placed in the restoration as a cornice. The closing wall of the nave at the eastern corner rises above the roof level. The apparatus is made of limestone ashlars, squared and of very irregular sizes, arranged in irregular courses held with lime mortar. The entrance door opens at noon, resolved with a semicircular arch made of well-cut voussoirs. In this same corner there is a semicircular window and another equal to the west corner that, with the one in the back of the apse, completes the lighting of the church.

The Montesquiu castle, in the Osona region, is a beautiful example of a recently restored medieval fortification. Built, surely, during the 13th century, it formed a defensive triangle together with the castles of Besora and Saderra.

Fantastic castle that is worth visiting

It appears for the first time in documents from 1285, appearing as a fortified house that would later be called a castle. At first it was known as Colobrer castle and later, Montesquiu. Its origin is probably in the enclave where there was a guard tower that Count Guifré (el Pilós) ordered to be built in the 11th century. In the 14th century it was converted into a fortified residence and in the 16th century the castle was enlarged and fortified. However, it was not until the beginning of the 20th century that it was reformed to give it the appearance it has today.
