Perched on a gentle hill on the eastern shore of Lake Banyoles, the Església de Santa Maria de Porqueres is one of Catalonia's finest examples of 12th-century Romanesque architecture. Consecrated in 1182, this single-nave church features a semicircular apse, barrel vault, and intricately sculpted capitals that depict biblical scenes and symbolic motifs. Its façade is adorned with a striking portal, distinguished by 22 carved medallions and a series of arches, making it a standout among Romanesque churches.
