Aplec de Fitor.

The pre-Romanesque church of Santa Coloma de Fitor is believed to have been built in the 12th century and is considered an example of rural Romanesque architecture. It consists of a single nave with a semicircular apse and a bell tower. It is located in a remote area in the Gavarres Mountains in the province of Girona, surrounded by nature, and it offers a peaceful and picturesque setting. Likewise, it is a cultural heritage that attracts visitors interested in history and architecture.

The southern apse is built in herringbone pattern (opus spicatum) which is very rarely seen.

If you come in October you might have the opportunity to celebrate the “Aplec” (gathering) and dance a “sardana” with the locals after the popular lunch.
