The church of Sant Romà is situated in a rural setting beside the mas Salló, on a slightly elevated site within the parish of Brunyola. It is a detached building that retains the essence of the Romanesque architecture of the Selva region, integrated into the agricultural and forested landscape of its surroundings.
The church has a single rectangular nave ending in a semi-circular apse in the Romanesque tradition. The façade incorporates an added porch with a gabled roof, a stone-dressed doorway, a rose window and a two-light bell-cote. The nave has been extended with a side sacristy and several buttresses, elements that evidence later, probably medieval and modern, alterations.
The interior retains a very austere space, with a wooden choir, pews and traces of painting in the apse. Devotional elements linked to Sant Romà the Soldier are also preserved, as well as ex-votos related to military service. Documented as early as 1279, the church was a suffragan of Sant Amanç d’Anglès and later of Sant Martí Sapresa, maintaining a religious role linked to the rural world of the region.
