Church of Sant Jaume de Queralt

Monument · Bellprat, Anoia, Barcelona

Single-nave Romanesque church, situated at the foot of the castle of Queralt, in the municipal area of Bellprat (Anoia). It was built around the 11th century and preserves, on its side walls, blind arcading grouped in threes between pilaster strips and Lombard bands, as well as a rebuilt bell-gable; the original apse was later replaced by a rectangular structure. Already documented in the 11th century as the earliest parish of the place, it belonged to a noble family of Queralt, mentioned in a will of 1166. It is no longer used for worship and is undergoing consolidation work; the 2021 fire reached it, although the damage to its remains was superficial.
