Church of Sant Cristòfol de Llambilles

Monument · Llambilles, Gironès, Girona

The church of Sant Cristòfol de Llambilles, included in the Inventory of the Architectural Heritage of Catalonia, is a rectangular building with a central nave and a semicircular apse of Romanesque origin, on which a Gothic vault was raised, today plastered and painted, with the grey stone transverse arches visible; in a side chapel the date 1699 can be read. The façade, of Baroque forms, preserves the corner ashlars, openings and the voussoirs of the door; the bell tower, of square base, transforms by means of four squinches into an octagonal tower with round-arched openings. Inside there is a baptismal font from 1587, a reliquary and a silver processional cross from the 16th century. According to tradition, the original parish would have been the hermitage of Sant Cristòfol del Bosc.
