Sant Pere de Montgrony

Monument · Gombrèn, Ripollès, Girona

Sant Pere de Montgrony is a Romanesque church located on the Pla de Sant Pere, in the Sant Pere mountain range, right above the cliff on which the chapel of Santa Maria de Montgrony stands, at 1,408 metres of altitude, in the municipality of Gombrèn (Ripollès, Girona). It has been documented since the year 899, although the current building was rebuilt around 1130. It has a wide nave with a central apse and two apsidioles arranged in a cross; the nave is covered with a barrel vault and the apse and apsidioles with quarter-sphere vaults. The outer walls of the apses display Lombard-type arcading and bands, and there is also a south porch with a pointed arch and a two-bayed bell-gable. It was restored between 1880 and 1915, and again in the early 1960s.
