Église Saint-Nazaire de Barbadell

The church features a rectangular nave extended by a flat chevet, supported by double arches and crowned with a bell-wall structure.

Built before the year 1000, Saint-Nazaire de Barbadell expanded between the 11th and 13th centuries before the village population relocated due to floods.

The religious building received continuous worship through successive hermits during the 18th century, maintaining traditions when many rural churches were abandoned.

A preservation association established in 1997 conducted complete renovation works to restore the medieval appearance of the building.

Interior walls retain painted decorations from the 18th century, while the building structure demonstrates architectural elements from the Visigothic tradition.
