Mare de Déu dels Àngels de la Llosa, a religious building in Lles de Cerdanya, Spain, is a bashful survivor of the past. It has endured centuries but in recent years it has been left to crumble. The building, which is part of the Inventary of Catalonia's Architectural Heritage but has mostly been left to decay, was recorded in 1244 when it was sold, together with the Castle of La Llosa, by Dalmau de Sant Martí to Ponç de Vilanova, Bishop of Urgell. Today, it stands on a hillside, its collapsed vault and tiled windows a silent testament to its past grandeur.
