Virgin of Nuria, Catholic pilgrimage church in Queralbs, Spain
The church features a single nave with a barrel vault, semicircular apse, and a square bell tower added during later renovations.
The church was consecrated on July 30, 978, dedicated to Saint James of Queralbs and reconstructed in the 12th century.
The portico contains six arched doorways supported by five marble columns with blue and white veins, displaying human figures and animal carvings.
The sanctuary is accessible only by rack railway or on foot, with hiking times of approximately 3.5 hours up and 2.5 hours down.
The wooden Romanesque statue of the Virgin from the 12th century carries fertility powers through a ritual involving a cross, pot, and bell.
