Monument · Castellnou de Seana, Pla d'Urgell, Lleida

Parish church of Sant Joan Baptista, in Castellnou de Seana, a municipality of the Pla d'Urgell with 726 inhabitants situated north of the river Corb, at 269 metres of altitude. Built in stone, rendered and whitewashed, it has three naves and a transept, with the central nave covered by a barrel vault with lunettes and the side ones by groin vaults. The church is reached by nine circular steps up to a doorway with a round arch and pediment, with a niche depicting Saint John baptising Christ. According to a contract of 1744, the church was built by the master builders of Barbens, López Major and López Menor, father and son, using stone from the earlier church. After the destruction of the Civil War, which burned the altarpiece, it was remodelled from 1954, when the chapel of Sant Blai was built.
