The church of Santa Maria de Fares is a small Romanesque building set in a peaceful rural environment on the outskirts of Besalú. Its architectural simplicity and close relationship with the surrounding landscape make it an authentic example of Garrotxa’s more discreet yet historically rich religious heritage.

With a single nave and an austere structure, the church preserves the essence of medieval rural architecture. Its stone walls and compact form convey a sense of solidity and continuity, while the interior invites a quiet and intimate visit.

Santa Maria de Fares is part of a landscape where heritage and nature exist in balance. Its understated presence, surrounded by fields and paths, offers a serene experience that connects visitors with the most authentic character of the area.
