Sant Salvador de Predanies: Trail, views and simple architecture

You can reach Sant Salvador de Predanies via the local LP-4033b road. Shortly before Prats, a right-hand turn leads from it to the cemetery, where the vehicle can be parked. You then continue on foot along a path to the hermitage. Sant Salvador de Predanies is situated at a viewpoint from which you can look out over the entire valley. The small building has simple architecture, with a single nave and an undecorated semicircular apse. This place therefore combines access by road, a walk, the building and a wide landscape view in a clear sequence.

Capdevila and Castell de Prats

In the district of Capdevila, the oldest settlement core of Prats, stands the parish church of Sant Serni de Prats. There are two baptismal fonts outside Sant Serni de Prats. Capdevila was fortified and appears to have contained the village’s castle or fortress, which guarded the crossing at Coll de Saig, along which the road to Bellver runs. The earliest mention of Castell de Prats appears to date from 1233. At that time, it was stipulated that the fortress or fortification of Prats should remain forever in the hands of Nunó Sanç and his descendants, on the condition that they were not allowed to alter or improve the fortress. In Capdevila, church architecture, settlement history and the site’s military past are thus closely connected thematically.
