What to see and do in Sagàs

Sagàs
Village
Sagàs is a small rural municipality in the Berguedà comarca, in the province of Barcelona, with 154 inhabitants. Finds of flint and stone axes indicate human presence as early as the Neolithic. The parish of Sagàs, dedicated to Sant Andreu, is documented since the year 839; in the 11th century much of its land was ceded to the monastery of Sant Pere de la Portella, founded in the late 10th century, on which the barony of la Portella depended from the 14th century onward. The 14th-century plague decimated the population and led to the neighbouring parish of Viure being added to that of Sagàs. Today it lives from the farming of cereals and fodder, pig and cattle farming, and a booming agrotourism.
Church of Sant Andreu de Sagàs
Monument
A Romanesque church presiding over the small settlement of Sagàs (Berguedà), documented since the year 903 and declared a Bien Cultural de Interés Nacional. It was built in the first half of the 11th century with a basilical plan of three naves and three apses, at first covered with a timber frame, an unusual solution in Catalonia; at the end of the 11th or the beginning of the 12th century that covering was replaced with barrel vaults. The chevet, with blind Lombard arcading and a slender pointed-arch window in the central apse, is the best-preserved part, since the rest was much altered in the 17th and 18th centuries, when the side naves were partitioned and the tower belfry was raised. Between 1985 and 1990 the Generalitat restored the building and recovered its original 11th-century spatiality.
