Iglesia de Sant Fèlix de Bagergue

The church of Sant Fèlix de Bagergue is a parish church in Bagergue, in the municipality of Naut Aran, province of Lleida, in the Aran Valley. The tourist card identifies it as a church, and its location corresponds to the town of Bagergue, at coordinates 42.71812, 0.91538. It is a building of Romanesque origin, generally dated between the twelfth and thirteenth centuries; some sources extend its evolution to the twelfth-fourteenth centuries. There is also evidence of a Baroque reform in the eighteenth century and the construction of the bell tower in 1765, so it has a clear mixture of construction phases. Among its documented patrimonial elements are the western façade with several archivolts, the bell tower with a square base and pyramidal roof, and the nave with lateral chapels. The local devotional tradition also preserves a stone altar altar of pre-Romanesque character and a Renaissance image of the Virgin in a chapel of the presbytery. In the context of the Aranese Romanesque, Sant Fèlix is one of the main historical testimonies of Bagergue and reflects the successive liturgical and architectural adaptations typical of Pyrenean temples.
