Sant Joan de Vilamajor

Monument · Pujalt, Anoia, Barcelona

Sant Joan de Vilamajor is the parish church of the hamlet of Vilamajor, in the municipality of Pujalt (Anoia), included in the Inventory of the Architectural Heritage of Catalonia. Located at the entrance to this small village, centring a newly built square, it is a single-nave temple with a semicircular apse decorated with a frieze of Lombard arcading and a window with double splay, typical of the 12th-century Romanesque style documented since 1157. On the west side it preserves a voussoired door with a drip-moulding and, on the central voussoir, the relief of a warrior saint with a lance, possibly Saint George or Saint Michael; the ensemble is crowned by a two-bay bell-gable. A significant part of the vault collapsed and was rebuilt in a restoration in the year 2000.
