Church of Senterada

Monument · Senterada, Pallars Jussà, Lleida

Parish church of Romanesque origin, located almost in the centre of Senterada, at the foot of the Vall Fosca road. It is documented as the monastery of Santa María de Senterada, founded before the year 814 by Bishop Possidoni of Urgell under royal protection and subject to the Seu d'Urgell; in 1042 it was refounded with a community of canons, and by 1314 only the parish church is mentioned. Despite reforms from different periods, it retains Romanesque features such as the raised apse. Next to it stands the old chapel of Santa Grata, patron of the Visigothic monastery that gave rise to the village, with remains of medieval walls.
