Sant Vicenç d'Almenara is a ruined church dedicated to Sant Vicenç màrtir, located near Pilar d'Almenara. The temple has a single nave, an eastern orientation, and a circular apse. The covering of the church is a barrel vault reinforced by toral arches which rest on pilars with undecorated capitells.
The stone used in the construction is imported from Sarrate. The construction period likely dates to the 13th century, with possible work in the 12th century and a Gothic chapel addition in the early 14th century. A medieval village was once located near the temple.
The church was largely dismantled during the war of 1936-1939, when soldiers removed almost all of the stones that covered the temple for military works at the same level.
