Sant Esteve de Maranyà

Monument · La Tallada d'Empordà, Baix Empordà, Girona

Sant Esteve de Marenyà is a church situated at the highest point of the Marenyà hamlet, within the municipality of La Tallada d'Empordà, protected as a local cultural asset. It has a single nave with a semicircular abside and a body added on the north wall; the symmetrical facade opens with a doorway of two round arches in decreasing gradation and a circular opening above it, from which the bell tower rises, today integrated into the fortification built over the walls of the church itself. The abside preserves Lombard band decoration marking the building's original height, and the interior is covered with a barrel vault and a double triumphal arch. Built in stone, it has solid buttresses and arrow slits, a vestige of its defensive reconversion.
