10th-century Bishop's Church perched high atop Mount Capolat

Perched atop Mount Capolat, an ancient church defies gravity

Sant Salvador de Mata, a church built by the 10th-century bishop of Urgell, Nantigís, stands defiantly on a montane peak in Capolat, Spain. The rectangular church, characterized by its intricately cut stone walls, has only two walls remaining: the tramuntana and ponent. Contrary to popular belief, there is no known tomb associated with this church.
