Sant Martí de Surroca

The Church of San Martín de Surroca stands isolated near a cliff of the Serra Cavallera. It is located at an altitude of 1730 m and is one of the churches of the diocese that stands at the highest altitude. It is east-facing and its layout is single nave with a semi-circular apse as the head. The nave has a tunnel-vault ceiling, with a transverse arch in the last quarter. The apse is covered with a quarter-sphere vault and separated from the nave by a fold of the wall, while the exterior is decorated with rounded arcading and Lombard bands, and has a window slightly off centre from the axis of the church. The portal, located on the south wall, is an arch made up of large voussoirs and canopies. At the end of the western side a bell-tower was added in the early 16th century which follows the structure of the nave, has two floors and a gable roof. Two Gothic alabaster images from this church are preserved in the Vic Episcopal Museum. They date from the 14th century and were sculpted by the workshop of Sant Joan de les Abadesses
