Church of Sant Pau de Narbona

Monument · Anglesola, Urgell, Lleida

Parish church of Anglesola (Urgell), documented as a parish since 1160 and belonging to the diocese of Vic until it passed to that of Solsona in the 16th century. The present building, with a single nave and side chapels between buttresses, was built between the 15th and 16th centuries, sources not agreeing on the exact century, combining ribbed and groin vaults with barrel-vaulted sections, a mixture of styles typical of the period; the plain façade has a single round-arched doorway with a drip moulding and an oculus above, and the bell tower is square in plan, topped with a balustrade. On the façade two Romanesque reliefs of Sant Pere and Sant Pau are preserved, from the previous 12th-century temple, the only pieces saved from that church; the main altar is presided over by a stone image of Sant Pau from the 14th century.
