Sant Martí de Minoves

In rural Spain, Sant Martí de Minoves is all that remains of a church that was built in the 14th century. Its exact role in the history of Catalonia remains unclear.

Sant Martí de Minoves, located in the municipality of Olvan in the Berguedà region of Spain, is all that remains of a church built in the 14th century. The building was hidden away, built on a hillside and only the lower part of the walls are still standing today. The village of Minoves, where the church was located, was abandonned long ago. The exact role of Sant Martí de Minoves in the history of Catalonia remains unclear, but it remains a reminder of the struggles and secrets of a Catalan village in the era of the Spanish crown.
