The 11th-century church built on the hillside in Cubelles, Spain

Step into the 11th century with a visit to the hillside church in Cubelles, Spain. This historic sanctuary, constructed from rows of uniformly cut gres blocks, stands alone amidst the village's narrow lanes.

Sant Miquel de Cubells is a church in Cubaelles, Spain, listed in the Inventari del Patrimoni Arquitectònic de Catalunya. It sits on the south-east slope of a hill where the historic village core is built. On the south-west side of the hill, the church stands alone, facing a courtyard bordered by Solsdevila Street to the north and Molí Street to the south. The north façade bears a Gothic-style portal built from well-cut gres blocks and Arab tiles.
