Abandoned 12th-century Romanesque church hidden in Capolat, Spain: Sant Serni

Sant Serni de Terrers, a 12th-century Romanesque church, is located in Capolat, a municipality in the Berguedà region of Catalonia, Spain. The church is included in the Inventory of the Architectural Patrimony of Catalonia, surrounded by old farming plots enclosed by woods. Originally constructed in the 12th century, Sant Serni de Terrers has a single nave, indicated by the absence of aisles such as an absis. Its roof, which is made of two waters, a wooden beam, and old tile, is partially collapsed.

The church has a barn-like appearance from the outside, with large, unhewn stones used in its construction. The entrance door is located on the south wall and is a pointed arch made of stones. A high and narrow double-sashed window is also found on the south wall. The bell tower is located centrally at the front and is in the form of a billow. The bell tower has two openings, each crowned with a pointed arch made of stones. Inside, the church was once covered in whitewash, but it is now in a poor state, with the roof having collapsed, the interior filled with rubble and debris, and damp areas and cracks on the walls. An image of the Virgin Mary of Terrers, possibly dating from the 13th century, is venerated in this church.
