Church of Sant Agustí de Lloret Salvatge

At the top of a hill between Pasteral and Susqueda, near the road leading to the Susqueda Dam - Amer
Easy. Take the turn-off on the right after passing some quarries  ·  

Lloret Salvatge was at the epicentre of one of the strongest earthquakes to shake Catalonia in the 15th century. Nevertheless, the small church at the centre of this small parish, dependent on the Monastery of Santa Maria d’Amer, remained more or less intact, just as it has survived the last few years of neglect.

Initially dedicated to Sant Julià, it is an 11th-century Romanesque construction with a single nave and a semicircular apse with typical Lombard bands around its exterior. Unusually, the doorway, with a semicircular arch, is on the north façade, while the west façade is crowned by a small bell gable.

An image of the Virgin Mary dating from the 13th century was venerated in the chapel until the 19th century but is no longer there today. The old cemetery was located behind the apse and the ruins of other constructions are half-hidden in the undergrowth near the church.
