Churches and chapels, where you can hear the silence
The Romanesque religious architecture dating from the Early Middle Ages is one of the most important elements of Anoia’s heritage. Even today, it remains one of the most prominent artistic periods in the region, as you will see in the many buildings that survive from this period, especially rural churches and chapels.
The defining element of Romanesque architecture in Anoia is the predominance of 11th-century churches. These buildings are strongly associated with the use of Lombard techniques, styles and ornamentation.
