An 11th-century church in ruins: Sant Martí del Meüll

In the heart of the Pallars Jussà region, nestled among pine-clad hills, lies the village of Meüll, and at its center, the once grand church of Sant Martí del Meüll. This Romanesque church dates back to the 11th century, and was built on the site where Castell del Meüll once stood. It was part of the Barony of Mur and the Pabordeia of the same name. However, due to abandonment years ago, the church is now in ruins, with a single nave covered with a canopy, and archers along the nave. The eastern part features a semi-circular apse, open to the nave without a presbyterial arc. It is a simple work, made with small and somewhat irregular stones. In September 2021, the Comarcal Council of the Pallars Jussà declared Sant Martí del Meüll as a Cultural Asset of Local Interest (BCIL), at the request of the Castell de Mur City Council, recognizing its historical and architectural significance.
