Church of Saint Victoria

It was first founded in the late 12th century; underwent modifications in the 15th century (Gothic), others in the 17th century and in the 1970s. The church was home to two faithful groups having St. Lucy and St. John the Baptist as patron saints.

The history of St. Victory Church is difficult to reconstruct, especially the early history. According to various hypotheses, it is thought that there was originally a pre-Romanesque church. The Gothic building dates from the 1400s, however, the first record of the church is from 1359.

The single-lancet windows of the apse, once connected to a shorter nave than the present one, remain from the first design. The apse and nave were revived in the 1400s in the Catalan-Gothic style and then in the first decade or so of the 1600s (at the same time as the work on the Ossi parish church). Until the mid-20th century, a small stone and mud dwelling stood between the first and second side buttresses, inhabited by a hermit who lived in isolation and devoted himself to prayer. It was demolished in 1960 because it was in danger of collapse.

The very simple facade is divided into two sections by a pilaster and resembles the facade of the parish church of St. Bartholomew. The upper part houses a rectangular window adorned with a simple frame. The lower part was embellished with a large cusped portal. The facade is closed by a final cornice and a 19th-century metal cross and a stone seat at the base.
