Sant Pere d'Ullastret

Monument · Ullastret, Baix Empordà, Girona

Romanesque parish church located in the centre of the settlement of Ullastret, in the Baix Empordà, within the extensive network of Romanesque temples in the region. It dates from the 11th century, although a document from the year 899 by King Charles the Simple already cites a first temple dedicated to Sant Pere and Sant Joan on the same site. It has a trapezoidal basilical plan with three naves covered by a barrel vault, and the apses show Lombard decoration with blind arcading. Two carved imposts of the transverse arch stand out, with the figure of a lion and two mermaids. Between the 17th and 18th centuries the doorway and the side chapels were remodelled, and above the central nave the comunidor, of quadrangular plan, was added.
