Santa Margarida de Bianya

Monument · La Vall de Bianya, Garrotxa, Girona

A 12th-century church at the foot of the sierra de Sant Miquel del Mont, with a nave with pointed vault, a transept and three semicircular apses (the north one from the 10th century), a bell tower and a Neoclassical doorway from 1855; it retains a Gothic image of Saint Margaret in polychrome alabaster. The place was donated in 858 to the monastery of Santa Maria de Ridaura and passed to Santa Maria de la Grassa in 953.
