The crumbling remains of a medieval chapel atop Roc de Sant Aventí

Perched on a cliff at 1,479 meters, this 11th-century Romanesque chapel is now mere ruins. What remains of Sant Aventí offers a glimpse into the ancient history of the Pallars Sobirà region.

Sant Aventí is a Romanesque chapel that once stood in the Pallars Sobirà region, with its Romanesque features dating back to the 11th century.

It has a single nave with an apse to the east.
