Capella de Sant Ponç - Sant Celoni, Barcelona, España - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

"Sant Ponç es una iglesia de Sant Celoni (Vallès Oriental) incluida en el Inventario del Patrimonio Arquitectónico de Cataluña . Formaba parte del antiguo hospital de gorros o leprosos llamado de San Nicolás situado fuera de la muralla para no contagiar la enfermedad a los aldeanos. Aunque es un buen ejemplar del estilo románico popular se trata de un edificio tardío, de finales del siglo XIII o XIII . Su atractivo radica en la simplicidad de la construcción.

Es un edificio religioso, de mampostería en el exterior. Tiene un ábside circular, en el centro hay una ventana aspillera con arco de medio punto . En la pared sur hay dos ventanas con arco de medio punto similares a las del ábside y una puerta sencilla igual a la de la entrada, de medio punto, sesgada a la derecha y una aspillera en el centro. Corona la fachada una espadaña sencilla con una abertura. El interior es de una sola nave sin tramos. Hay un altar de piedra, moderno. Sobre una balda está la imagen de Sant Ponç."

"Sant Ponç is a church in Sant Celoni (Vallès Oriental) included in the Inventory of the Architectural Heritage of Catalonia. It was part of the old cap or leper hospital called San Nicolás located outside the wall so as not to spread the disease to the villagers. Although it is a good example of the popular Romanesque style, it is a late building, from the end of the 13th or 13th century. Its appeal lies in the simplicity of the construction.

It is a religious building, made of masonry on the outside. It has a circular apse, in the center there is a loophole window with a semicircular arch. On the south wall there are two windows with a semicircular arch similar to those in the apse and a simple door like the one at the entrance, semicircular, slanted to the right and a loophole in the center. The façade is crowned by a simple belfry with an opening. The interior is a single nave without sections. There is a modern stone altar. On a shelf is the image of Sant Ponç."
