Santa Maria de Barberà, Romanesque church in Barberà del Vallès, Spain
The Santa Maria de Barberà church displays three different colored ashlars in its construction, with blind arches and Lombard bands adorning its walls.
The main structure of Santa Maria de Barberà was constructed between 1050 and 1090, receiving its first written mention in historical documents from 1123.
The interior walls preserve Romanesque paintings discovered in 1919, depicting various scenes from both the Old and New Testament through medieval artistry.
The church maintains regular visiting hours and provides guided tours that explain the architectural elements and historical significance of the religious structure.
During the 1940s restoration, different painting styles from the 12th and 13th centuries emerged, creating a temporal mix of medieval artistic expressions.
