Church of Sant Julià de Cerdanyola

Monument · Sant Julià de Cerdanyola, Berguedà, Barcelona

The church of Sant Julià de Cerdanyola, which gives its name to the municipality, stands in the centre of the village of the same name, in the Alt Berguedà, surrounded by an irregular square with rural mountain houses. It is listed as immovable heritage of the Generalitat de Catalunya. It is a building with a single rectangular nave under a gabled roof, with a massive, almost square bell tower topped with volutes, and shows bare stone throughout its exterior. It was the property of the neighbouring monastery of Sant Llorenç prop Bagà and was consecrated in 1106 by Bishop Ot of la Seu d'Urgell. It suffered attacks by the men of the Barony of Pinós, who had to pay the rector a thousand sous for burning the church and destroying its property. The temple was radically transformed in the 18th century.
