Santa Eulàlia Church in Vilanova de la Muga Verified listing

The Santa Eulàlia Church is a Romanesque building, modified at a later date. Documentation refers to its existence as early as 1019. The sacristy of the church is a construction which dates back to between the 16th and 17th centuries. There is a Romanesque mural decoration in the central apse which has been restored on two occasions, in 1946 and again in 2019. We see the Christ in Majesty inside the mystical almond tree, surrounded by the Tetramorph and with two seraphim angels with long, crossed wings with eyes. Inside the church is an ovoid-shaped monolithic Romanesque baptismal font which is decorated with a series of semi-circular blind arches that rise up from false columns carved in bas-relief. We also find a chest with an inscription in Latin and a shield on each side in bas-relief. This chest is perforated, as one of the priests of the church used it as a feeding recipient for hens.
