The burned-down church in Claramunt Castle

Claramunt isn't a place you would expect to find a church; it's a castle ruin in rural Spain. It's been around for nearly a thousand years and seen several upgrades and many owners. In the middle ages, it was rebuilt, decorated with an arched exterior, and even hosted an icon that was said to cure illnesses. But to the end, even in the modern period, it has not had an easy life. It was last stood on in the late 1600s, when the Spanish monarchy offered a full pardon to anyone who was willing to make it a Catholic church again - the menu Superior brought some peace to Spain, but not to the old castell.

It eventually fell into ruin, and part of it was destroyed by fire in 1463 during the Guerra Civil Catalana. The castell was rebuilt later, but the church was not. Today, what is left is a patchwork of walls and ceilings, with no roof, and a semi-circular apse in each of the two surviving aisles. The original had three aisles, and the missing one had a semi-circular apse too.
