Sant Vicenç de les Olives

Monument · Garrigoles, Baix Empordà, Girona

Sant Vicenç de les Olives is a church with Romanesque and Gothic elements located in the municipal term of Garrigoles (Baix Empordà), included in the Inventory of the Architectural Heritage of Catalonia. It consists of a single nave with a square head that does not stand out externally from the rest of the building, covered with a pointed vault; a single triumphal arch, also pointed, separates the nave from the presbytery. The west facade preserves a voussoired round-arch portal and an oculus, topped by a three-pilaster bell-gable added at a later period. From the year 1210 the place of les Olives had possessions of the abbey of Santa Maria d'Amer, and by the late 14th century it formed part of the barony of Verges, becoming integrated in the 17th century into the royal bailiwick of the same place.
