The 11th-century Romanesque ruins of Sant Miquel de Naens

The abandoned church of Sant Miquel de Naens, once the heart of the village of Naens in Pallars Jussà, met an unfortunate end. It was demolished to widen the passage for vehicles and farm machinery because the narrowness of the street between the temple and adjacent houses only allowed the passage of small carts.

Today, the main road of the village passes through where the main nave of the church once stood. The remains of the building can be seen on the southern side of the street.

It was an 11th-century Romanesque church with a single nave and a single apse, covered with a barrel vault. Only the south wall is preserved, showing the removal of the vault.
