Description

The church of Sant Iscle i Santa Victòria is a single nave building, which has undergone many modifications over time. The most notable part of the building is the west façade, which could be dated to the late twelfth century or so, with a bull’s eye instead of a double-slit window; the voussoirs of the bull’s eye have a bevelled outer edge, and in each of them is carved a half ball, a motif typical of the late Romanesque, in fact it is a specimen of a bull’s eye unique to the Cerdanya. The wall is crowned by a belfry with two very high eyes. It is a very whole and well-preserved frontispiece.

The original semicircular apse was replaced by a quadrangular head, and the nave was enlarged with a sacristy and two chapels on both sides. The door, on the south façade, has also been redone and there is no sign of any original window.
