The Old Church . Vilanova de la Barca

+ Wienerberger Brick Award 2018

Built in the 13th century, the church of Vilanova de la Barca in the heart of Catalonia is mainly Ro­manesque, but pointed arches and the apse make the Gothic influences noticeable. During the Spanish civil war in 1936 the church was strongly damaged and for more than 80 years the walls lay waste. In 2009, it was decided to stop the decay and to con­serve it in its current condition.
