Església de Sant Romà de les Bons

The church features a rectangular nave with a barrel vault ceiling and a semi-circular apse decorated with Lombard-style architectural elements.

Construction of the church began in 1101, and the building received its consecration on January 23, 1164, marking a period of religious expansion.

The interior walls display reproductions of 12th-century Romanesque paintings depicting Saint John's apocalyptic vision, along with 16th-century Gothic artworks of Saint Peter.

Visitors can access the church through guided tours from July to September, with additional visits possible throughout the year by contacting Casa Cristo Museum.

A 13th-century defensive tower and water reservoir system with rock-carved irrigation channels demonstrate the site's multiple functions beyond religious purposes.
