Church of Sant Jaume d'Ulldemolins

Monument · Ulldemolins, Priorat, Tarragona

The church of Sant Jaume, in Ulldemolins (Priorat, Tarragona), declared an asset of national cultural interest, has a single nave with a flat chevet and a barrel vault with lunettes, flanked by four side chapels on each side with galleries on the upper floor. A triumphal arch, bearing the dates 1585, 1690, 1778, 1896 and 1972 — probably the completion of the presbytery and later restorations — separates the nave from the chevet. The façade, with rusticated ashlars at the corners, has at its centre a monumental Renaissance-style doorway crowned by a large triangular pediment, and to the left rises the bell tower, with a square base and an octagonal body finished in a circular section.
