Sant Julià del Fou

Sant Julià del Fou, Romanesque parish church in Sant Antoni de Vilamajor, Spain.

Description

Sant Julià del Fou is a Romanesque parish church in Sant Antoni de Vilamajor featuring a single nave covered by a vaulted ceiling with decorative keystones. A rectangular bell tower divided into three sections by cornices forms the prominent external feature of the structure.

History

The church received its consecration in 1142 from the bishops of Barcelona and Vic, formalizing its establishment as a religious center. This early foundation makes it an important testimony to the region's medieval ecclesiastical history.

Culture

The interior displays a baroque altar from 1666 with relief carvings showing scenes from Saint Julià's life and decorative cherub heads framing the chapel entrances. These artworks allow visitors to experience the community's religious tradition directly through their visual forms.

Practical

The site features an active cemetery on its south side and is complemented by a reconstructed rectory building completed in 2011. Visitors should expect this to be a living place with ongoing community activities.

Did you know?

The entrance portal was built in 1643 and displays rectangular Gothic elements with scallop-shaped arches and specific molding patterns around the opening. This later addition blends Renaissance styles with the church's older Romanesque structure.
