Santa Maria de Pujals dels Pagesos

The church of Santa Maria, in the hamlet of Pujals dels Pagesos, within the municipality of Cornellà del Terri, is a Romanesque church built in the 12th century, with a triple-archivolt doorway on the west façade, remodelled in the 18th century with the addition of two side chapels and in the 19th with the construction of the present slender bell tower, above the old open-sided (cadireta) bell tower still preserved beneath the triumphal arch. Inside is kept a Romanesque Christ in Majesty found in 1982 when an old window was opened, a small 1333 ossuary with the remains of the lords Guillem Pere Palol and Guillem de Cornellà, a 16th-century silver processional cross and a Gothic baptismal font.
