What remains of the Romanic chapel in Lladurs: Sant Esteve de Castellonet

Venture close enough to the farmhouse of Castelló and peer up at the surviving facade of Sant Esteve de Castellonet, a Romanic chapel in Els Torrents, a village in the municipality of Lladurs (Solsonès), which has been attached to the farmhouse but is missing its roof.

Sant Esteve de Castellonet is a Romanic-style chapel in Els Torrents, a village in the municipality of Lladurs (Solsonès). It is attached to the south-eastern wall of the masia (farmhouse) of Castelló. A significant part of its facades and openings is preserved, even though the roof of the nave has collapsed. The chapel consists of a rectangular-shaped single nave, with remains of an ancient Romanic chapel located in the Serra de Castelló. It is near the ermita (hermitage) of Sant Joan Castellonet in Torrents-Vilanova within the municipality of Lladurs. The chapel is attached to the south-eastern side of the masia of Castelló and consists of a rectangular-shaped single nave, with a significant part of its facades and openings preserved, even though the roof of the nave has collapsed. Another structure is attached to one side of the main façade, in ruins.
