The hidden history of Sant Sebastián de Buseu: A Romanesque church once

Discover an abandoned Romanesque church in Buseu, once self-governing, and now up for a vote to determine its future affiliation.

Sant Sebastián de Buseu, a lesser parish, is a historical Romanesque structure located at an elevation of 1590.3 meters, east of Baén. Once governed by its own municipality until 1969, this church features a single-nave design with a rectangular eastern apse and a western facade adorned with a broad spadiera and two semi-circular arches. The church entrance is small, situated at the south side, at the base of the nave. The exterior walls are built with stone, and the roof is covered with two-pitched tiles. The apse is decorated with Lombard arches. Despite technically depending on Sant Serni de Buseu currently, there's a vote scheduled to determine its formal affiliation.
