Santa Magdalena del Colell

Santa Magdalena del Colell is a Romanesque church located in the town of Guixers and catalogued as a Cultural Place with Local Interest. It’s placed in the northern side of la masia del Colell, close to the country house but without being part of it. It’s placed at 1.355m of altitude, being an exceptional viewpoint from la Solana de Montcalb to les serres de Busa i dels Tossals.

The dating isn’t known with precision but it could be from the beginning of the 11th century or earlier. It’s made up by a single rectangular nave, one semi-circular apse and it has a bell tower.
