    ⛪ Santa Maria de Porqueres – A Romanesque Jewel by Lake Banyoles

    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.

    Romanesque church located in the municipality of Porqueras, in the region of Pla de l'Estany. It is located next to Lake Banyoles, on the other side of this town, opposite the old castle of Porqueres and next to the independent building of the rectory. On one side it has the cemetery and, in front, an old burial pit.

    Very pretty church at the top of a small hill easy to climb.
