Church of Sant Jaume de Montagut

Monument · Querol, Alt Camp, Tarragona

Church of Sant Jaume de Montagut, in the municipality of Querol, in the Tarragona comarca of Alt Camp. It is one of the singular examples of 14th-century Catalan Gothic religious architecture for the typology of its plan and its structural solutions: with a single nave of two bays, it closes in a seven-sided polygonal apse formed by as many chapels covered with ribbed vaults, with large buttresses on the north façade and two bell-gable towers, and a portal of three semicircular arches on the south side. It was declared a cultural asset of national interest in July 2013, a declaration that also protects the surroundings of the monument and its subsoil owing to the possible existence of archaeological remains.
