Sant Julià d'Altura, Medieval parish church in northwestern Sabadell, Spain.

Sant Julià d'Altura stands on a ridge at 303 meters elevation between the Matadepera road and the Ribatallada stream ravine.

The first documented reference to this parish church appears in a testament dated April 25, 1055, mentioning bequests for masses at churches including Sant Julià.

Archaeological excavations in 1990 revealed a medieval necropolis containing 27 skeletons from the 12th century, along with bronze coins and ritual pottery.

Access to the church requires following a path starting at kilometer 4.1 on the road connecting Sabadell with Matadepera.

The building incorporates elements from three architectural periods: Romanesque foundations, Gothic portal materials, and a Baroque bell tower completed in 1693.
