Sant Martí de Vilallonga

Monument · Vilallonga de Ter, Ripollès, Girona

Sant Martí de Vilallonga is the parish church of Vilallonga de Ter, in the Camprodon valley, between Setcasas and Camprodon. It has been documented since 1183, when Arnau Descatllar ceded his rights over it to the bishop of Girona, although the place is already mentioned in 1017 among the properties that Pope Benedict VIII confirmed to the monastery of Camprodon. Of its original three-naved basilical structure, an uncommon typology in the Ripollès, only the main apse, a small apsidiole and part of the north and south walls survive, since the 1784 enlargement reduced it to a single nave with side chapels. The apse, of well-cut ashlar, displays on the outside a frieze of arcading on corbels and a sawtooth cornice beneath the eaves.
