The ruins where a medieval lord had his whim

In the heart of the Pyrenees, in the Spanish province of Lleida, sits Sant Pere de Boí, a 12th-century romanesque church that no longer echoes with prayer. The remains of the chapel lie in a secluded valley, 300 meters from the village center, surrounded by modern rock pathways. Though it is not part of the group of romanesque churches of Vall de Boí declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it has a unique history. Its builder was a medieval landlord who, with a whim, chose this remote valley and built a single-nave church with a semi-circular apse and a wooden roof. Today, only a part of the construction can be seen, with a few rows of petite and medium-sized well-caired stones. The roof has been lost, but the Museum of National Art of Catalonia conserves a frontal altar dedicated to Saint Peter, which comes from this church.
