Church of Sant Romà

The church of Sant Romà is located in a rural setting, next to the mas Salló farmhouse, on a slightly elevated point within the municipality of Brunyola. It is a detached building that preserves the essence of Romanesque architecture from the La Selva area, integrated into the surrounding agricultural and forest landscape.

The temple consists of a single rectangular nave ending in a semicircular apse in the Romanesque tradition. The façade includes an added porch with a pitched roof, a stone voussoir doorway, an oculus, and a two-opening bell gable. The nave also includes a side sacristy and several buttresses, elements that show later modifications, probably medieval and modern.

Inside, a very austere space is preserved, with a wooden choir, benches, and traces of painting in the apse. Devotional elements linked to Sant Romà the soldier are also preserved, as well as votive offerings related to military service. Documented as early as 1279, the church was a subsidiary of Sant Amanç d’Anglès and later of Sant Martí Sapresa, maintaining a religious role linked to the rural world of the region.
