Sant Martí del Corb, Romanesque chapel in Les Preses, Girona Province, Catalonia, Spain

Sant Martí del Corb is a small Romanesque church with a single nave and a semicircular apse, built of local stone and covered with tiles. Access is via a staircase and a porch whose two-sloped roof is supported by pillars. On each side of the entrance door are two openings with wrought-iron grilles; above the facade is a single-opening bell gable.

No historical documents record the construction of Sant Martí del Corb; its single nave, semicircular apse and small local stone masonry are what lead it to be considered Romanesque. The sources give no founding date, no builder and no documented age. Its situation is contrasted with Sant Miquel del Corb, a Romanesque church about 20 minutes' walk away, for which historical references do exist.

The church is dedicated to Bishop Saint Martin, and its goigs — a type of devotional song — name the villages that venerate him: Olot, Les Preses, Bas, el Corb, Batet, Riudaura, Santa Pau and La Cot. The last stanza asks the bishop to free the singers from all evil, calling them his devotees.

The chapel stands on a wooded hillside and is reached on foot via a staircase and a covered porch, so allow walking time from Les Preses. The Romanesque church of Sant Miquel del Corb lies about 20 minutes away on foot. The building is not always open; the interior can be viewed through the two wrought-iron grilles flanking the entrance door.

Directly to the left of the entrance portal stands a spring enclosed in a well. In times of drought, processions came here from nearby Les Preses. Unlike Sant Miquel del Corb, about a 20-minute walk away, no historical record explains when this chapel was built.
