Església de la Mare de Déu de la Purificació

The stone church features a prominent tympanum decorated with religious figures, including representations of the four evangelists and celestial symbols.

The church received its consecration in 1161 by Bishop Arnau Roger and later obtained recognition as a Cultural Asset of National Interest.

The building holds religious ceremonies throughout the year, with major celebrations occurring during the Purification of Mary on February 2.

Visitors can access the church through the northern entrance, known as 'porta del bisbe', which displays notable architectural characteristics.

The tympanum contains intricate carvings that combine both Maiestas Mariae and Maiestas Domini imagery in a single architectural composition.
