Sant Martí de Puig-reig

St Martin's Church (Catalan: Sant Martí de Puig-reig (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈsam məɾˈti ðə ˌpuˈretʃ])[1] is a Romanesque church from 12th century in Puig-reig, Spain,[2] near the modern parochial church and the former Puig-reig Castle.

The church's construction comprises large stone blocks of various sizes, and its thick side-walls are carried by a number of side-buttresses. The exterior of the church is completely plain, without ornamentation, except at the west wall. Atop the west wall stands the bell-gable with its twin openings, and below it is the main door, which has a simple three-arch archivolt, supported in part by four columns and their capitals.
