Sant Martí del Clot

Monument · La Vall de Bianya, Garrotxa, Girona

Sant Martí del Clot, also called Sant Martí de Tornadissa, is a 12th-century church located on the southern slope of the Malforat mountain range, above the left bank of the valley of Sant Ponç d'Aulina, within the municipality of La Vall de Bianya, in La Garrotxa. It preserves the apse, the vault and the voussoired portal, with an inscription recalling the 15th-century earthquakes that made it necessary to rebuild it, and 18th-century side chapels. The hamlet surrounding it, formerly belonging to Capsech, had 152 inhabitants in the mid-19th century according to Madoz's Dictionary, and only 39 in 2022.
