Sant Esteve de Llanars

Monument · Llanars, Ripollès, Girona

A 12th-century Romanesque church located in the centre of Llanars, on the Plaça de l'Om, within the Vall de Camprodon. The first written reference dates from 10 November 1168, the date of its consecration by the bishop of Girona Guillem de Peratallada. It has a single nave with two rear chapels that give it the shape of a Latin cross, covered with a pointed-arch vault, and a semicircular apse offset towards the northeast. The main portal, a voussoired round arch, rests on four columns with decorated capitals, and the south and east walls show Lombard ornamentation. Inside is preserved the polychrome wooden altar frontal dedicated to Sant Esteve, from the second half of the 12th century, the only example of its kind preserved in situ in the region.
