Church of Farrera

Monument · Farrera, Pallars Sobirà, Lleida

The church of Farrera is a Romanesque temple located at the western edge of the village, in the comarca of Pallars Sobirà. Originally dedicated to Santa Eulàlia, it appears as the parish of the Vall de Tírvia in the consecration act of the Seu d'Urgell and was visited by delegates of the archbishop of Tarragona in 1314; according to the tithe record (dècima) of 1391 its chaplain paid 15 sueldos, and in the early 16th century Pere Blates was rector. The pastoral visits of 1575 and 1758 noted no structural problems; in the latter it had as suffragan churches those of Alendó and Sant Martí de Mallolís, as would later be recorded, in the 19th century, by Pascual Madoz's geographical dictionary. For unknown reasons, the temple is today called the church of Sant Roc instead of Santa Eulàlia, and it depends on the parish of Llavorsí. It has a single nave with side chapels and a semicircular apse.
