Church of Sant Pere de Talteüll

Monument · Massoteres, Segarra, Lleida

Church of the settlement of Talteüll, in the municipality of Massoteres (Segarra), situated next to the old castle of Talteüll, on a hill beside the Llobregós river; it was declared a Bien Cultural de Interés Nacional (Catalonia's highest level of heritage protection) in October 2019. Consecrated in 1077 by the papal legate Amat d'Oloron, it had been given in 1075 by the count of Urgell Ermengol IV to the canonry of Solsona. Of an exceptional structure within Lombard architecture, it has two parallel naves covered by a semicircular barrel vault reinforced by a transverse arch, separated by formeret arches, and two semicircular apses. It belonged to the diocese of Urgell until the creation of that of Solsona, in the late 16th century, and at the end of the 19th it lost its parish rank on becoming a suffragan of Sant Salvador de Massoteres.
