Sant Medir de Cartellà

Monument · Sant Gregori, Gironès, Girona

Church of Sant Medir, in the settlement of Cartellà (municipality of Sant Gregori, Gironès), in Romanesque style, with an original fabric from the 11th century, later rebuilt or replaced by a Lombard Romanesque one that underwent variations over the centuries. The fabric, with a single nave with an apse and barrel vault, was later completed with a second parallel nave and side chapels; it preserves the Romanesque apse and a cylindrical body of well-cut ashlar that houses a spiral staircase giving access to the square-plan bell tower, in addition to a decoration of Lombard arcading. It underwent major renovations or extensions in the 18th century and since 1980 has been home to a community of Cistercian nuns.
