Sant Cebrià dels Alls

Monument · Cruïlles, Monells i Sant Sadurní de l'Heura, Baix Empordà, Girona

Church of the late Romanesque period (12th-13th centuries), with a rectangular nave and pointed vault, and chapels and a sacristy added in the 17th and 18th centuries; the 2007 excavations uncovered inside a semicircular apse from the 11th century and a trapezoidal pre-Romanesque structure from the 8th-9th centuries. Already cited in 1064 as Sancti Cipriani de Aliol, head of a parish of about forty farmhouses scattered across the Gavarres in the 14th century, near the Puig d'Arques, which in 1359 had 28 hearths and belonged to Gilabert de Cruïlles. Uninhabited since the mid-20th century, it still preserves today, next to the church, the building called «el castell» and a rectory dated 1680; when worship was abandoned, some objects —the wooden doors with ironwork, a bell of 1590 and a bench with a long inscription— were moved to the church of Sant Martí de Romanyà d'Empordà. In the second half of September the Aplec is still held, with the singing of the Goigs to Sant Cebrià.
