Sants Just i Pastor de la Cellera

Monument · La Cellera de Ter, Selva, Girona

Romanesque church with a single nave and semicircular apse and a sacristy added on the south side, located in La Cellera de Ter (Selva) and linked to the monastery of Amer; the roof is double-pitched and the interior has a pointed barrel vault reinforced with a transverse arch. A walled precinct surrounds the complex, which has preserved the old cemetery and the porticoed atrium at the entrance. Although the first written references date from 1364, its fabric and the dedication to the 4th-century martyrs suggest an origin several centuries earlier, probably from the 12th century. The earthquakes of 1427 damaged it, forcing a partial reconstruction attested by the buttresses on the north side. The village would go there in procession in times of drought; today the aplec is held on Easter Monday.
