Church of Sant Martí de Maldà

Monument · Sant Martí de Riucorb, Urgell, Lleida

The parish church of Sant Martí de Maldà, in the municipality of Sant Martí de Riucorb (Urgell), is protected as a bien cultural de interés nacional (the highest heritage protection status in Catalonia) in the category of historic monument, a declaration initiated in 1980 and confirmed in 2017. It was built between 1602 and 1668 on the site of an earlier church documented in 1313; the portal, in Salomonic Baroque style, is the work of the sculptor Pau Viala (1694), and the bell tower, by the architect Josep Prat, was raised in 1774. The church is also notable for the mural paintings by various artists preserved inside.
