Church of Vila-sana

Monument · Vila-sana, Pla d'Urgell, Lleida

The church of Sant Miquel de Vila-sana, on the plaça de l'Església, is a simple religious building, without ornamentation, with an asymmetrical façade shared with the rectory and a square-plan bell tower with round-arched openings. Its origin dates back to a chapel from around 1130 in Utxafava, documented as the church of Sant Miquel in 1159, within the bishopric of Vic. The present building was begun on 6 June 1784 under the direction of Joan Ponsich, and was completed and blessed in 1970. Looted during the Civil War, its images burned, it was rebuilt between 1941 and 1962.
