Sant Vicenç de Fals
The church of Sant Vicenç de Fals (Saint Vincent of Vals) is raised in the place known as Torres de Fals, on a hill of the municipality of Fonollosa, in Bages. It belongs to a monumental complex, with the rectory, the graveyard, a cylindrical tower from the old castle of Fals and another tower, also cylindrical, on the other side of the stream.
There is almost nothing left of the early Romanesque church, documented inn 1016. A Gothic chapel was added to it, which preserves some elements such as a geminated ogival window and a niche. It was by using this chapel that, in the 17th century, the current temple began to be built. The length of the Romanesque temple was kept, the width was augmented, a nave section was added and a new access gate was opened. In the 18th century the current bell-tower was raised and, in 1885, the tabernacle was added.
The inside of the church was greatly damaged during the Spanish Civil War.
Recently, the central nave of the church of Sant Vicenç of les Torres de Fals has been adapted as space for public use.
