Sant Ponç de Corbera church, Cervello.
Despite its proximity to Corbera, which depends parish, St. Pontius belongs to the municipality of Cervello. It is the church of a former Benedictine priory, which depended on the French monastery of Cluny and its subsidiary in Catalonia, Sant Pere de Casserres. The first news of the monastery are in 1068, though its origins may be earlier. It remains virtually intact church, by the mid-eleventh century. The building is a single nave with three apses and a cruise on which stands the dome topped by a bell tower. The nave is covered with barrel vault and the center of a spherical dome rises cruise on conical tubes. The apse communicate with each other through open doors into the walls of separation. As most of Romanesque buildings were three doors, the main one for the faithful at the front and at the side walls of the monks and the cemetery. Although the exterior is decorated with bands and Lombard arches.
