The 1980s-damaged Nave of Medieval Chapel Sant Esteve de Mont-ros

Sant Esteve de Mont-ros, situated in the municipality of La Torre de Cabdella in the Pallars Jussà region, can be found along the asphalted rural road connecting Mont-ros village to the L-503. The chapel, which was still a chapel of Mont-ros in 1904, has undergone significant changes since the 1980s. A road was built through the nave, leading to the demolition of the western wall and the apse.

The ruins are located about 500 metres west-north-west of the village. In a wide revolt, a path can be seen leading southwest to some fields - this was the location of the chapel.

Due to the small width of the nave and the absence of ribbed arches, one must suppose it was a church covered with wood. The stones with which it was built are irregular and poorly worked, but the rows seek a constructive regularity. For all these reasons, it belongs to the second half of the 11th century.
