The forgotten Romanesque sanctuary beneath the Roca del Molar

The forgotten Romanesque sanctuary beneath the Roca del Molar

Beneath a rock in the Pont de Suert lies a nearly destroyed Romanesque church, remnants of the once flourishing Corroncui village, now a silent stone echo.

Santa Maria de Corroncui, hidden under the Roca del Molar in the Pont de Suert, was once the sanctuary for the abandoned village of the same name. Originally situated in the 'village of Corroncui', the church was dismantled almost entirely to make way for the new church, which also incorporates a part of the Romanesque church. Remnants of the ancient village remain for curious visitors to discover today.
