Church of Sant Martí d'Olvan

Monument · Olvan, Berguedà, Barcelona

Image of Olvan, not of the place itself.

Remains of a former church in the municipality of Olvan, in the Berguedà, of which only the lower part of the nave walls survives. It stands in the former settlement of Minoves, today in ruins, on a small hill at the foot of the riera del Gol, from which it takes the name Sant Martí de Minoves. The territory of Olvan itself, situated beside the Llobregat river, is documented from 905, the year its parish church was consecrated by Bishop Nantigís of Urgell, and it later belonged to the barony of la Portella and, from 1369, to the Pinós family.
