Sant Feliu de Rocabruna

Monument · Camprodon, Ripollès, Girona

Romanesque parish church of the village of Rocabruna, formerly part of the municipality of Beget and today within Camprodon, on the south side of the Montfalgars mountain. It is first mentioned in 1097, in a donation by Arnau de Petrio to the monastery of Sant Pere de Camprodon; it was restored between 1469 and 1477 by Pere Des Bach, lord of Rocabruna, and again in 1929. It is a 12th-century church with a single nave with a pointed barrel vault and a semicircular apse of well-squared ashlar, with a cornice and a sawtooth frieze. The south doorway retains the original Romanesque ironwork, with a bolt shaped like a dragon's head. The original bell tower was a bell-gable; the present tower was built above it, with a four-sided roof. A few metres away stands the comunidor, or reliquary chapel.
