Ruins of a 12th-century church in Sant Jaume de Puigdemàger

An ancient and crumbling church in eastern Spain.

Sant Jaume de Puigdemàger is a church in Prats de Rei (Anoia), included in the Inventary of Catalonia Architectural Heritage. The church, built in the 12th century, today only its ruins and the campanile remain. The roofs have been completely lost due to abandonment. There is also a valuable funerary stele, a small piece of stone about 50 meters tall. The base has a pyramid shape, and the top is round, with a cross within a circle sculpted in relief. The church was an independent parish, but in the 15th century, it merged as a subordinate parish to Sant Pere Sallavinera.
