The crumbling ruins of Santa Cecília Vella d'Ancs

In the remote village of Ancs, Spain, lies a crumbling Romanic church, built in the 11th century. Its remnants are used as village cemetery limits.

The ruins of Santa Cecília Vella d'Ancs are a reminder of a distant past. Originally a parochial Romanic church, located at the end and slightly below the village of Ancs, it had a single nave with an eastern apse. Constructed in the lines of Romanic style from the 11th century, the remnants of the walls remain, partly used as limits of the cemetery of the village.
