The ruins of Sant Ermengol de Madrona

Sant Ermengol de Madrona is a Romanesque church in ruins located in the central part of the municipality of Pinell de Solsonès, between the nucleus of Sant Climenç and the masia of les Cots. The building is included in the Inventari del Patrimoni Arquitectònic de Catalunya and is situated within a grove called de l'Ascensió.

To reach the site from Sant Climenç, follow the paved road from Solsona toward the west. After leaving the village, follow the signs to turn right toward "Cots". After passing the masia, take the track on the right that climbs between fields of crops toward the forest seen ahead. After a couple of turns, the new chapel is reached, while the old church sits atop the hill to the south.

The ruins consist of the remains of one nave and three round apses. The nave has disappeared, but the northern half of the central apse up to the window, the lower part of the presbytery arch, and the half of the lateral apse of the north wall have been preserved. The walls are constructed of regular stones well cut and placed in rows.
