Situated in the Girona province of Spain, the Church of Santa Maria de Jonqueres dates back to the 12th century. Featuring a Romantic architectural style, this church showcases a single nave, a barrel-vaulted interior, and a semicircular apse that was later reinforced. However, its most unique feature is the belltower which served as an optical telegraph in the 19th century, transmitting messages from a distance.
