Sant Genís de Palafolls, Romanesque church in Palafolls, Spain

The Sant Genis church features a single nave with barrel vaulting, complemented by an additional nave on the north side and a chapel on the south.

The parish received recognition in 947 through a decree from Louis, King of France, favoring the monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes.

The church housed a Romanesque carving of the Virgin of Women from Palafolls Castle until 1957, marking its religious significance in the region.

The church location is accessible through a road connecting from the N-II highway, approximately one kilometer from the town center.

The exterior south facade displays Lombard band decorations, while a circular defense tower exhibits Gothic design elements.
