Església de Sant Miquel de Cardona, Gothic church in Cardona, Spain
The Església de Sant Miquel de Cardona is a church building in Cardona with Gothic features that structure the interior. The building holds a central main nave alongside two side aisles and closes with a polygonal apse, while Gothic doorways and painted vault keystones define its appearance.
The building began in the 11th century with Romanesque style before being rebuilt into Gothic forms. Major changes took place in the 14th century, with work completed in 1397.
The church displays Gothic-era artistic choices visible in its doorways and vault decorations that shape how the space feels inside. Visitors experience these artistic choices as they move through the interior.
The building sits in an elevated location and remains accessible to visitors interested in Gothic architecture. Regular church services occur there, and group visits work well with advance notice.
Wall paintings from the 14th century that originally decorated the interior were preserved in fragments at the Diocesan Museum in Solsona. These fragments show scenes from the life of Saint Stephen and tell stories of the saint that visitors can see displayed elsewhere today.
