The nave

On our return we were treated to a guided tour and walk up the tower. Although this tour wasn't my intention it turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. The church itself is 14th century. A remarkable age. Apart from a fire by anarchists in 1936, which destroyed the rose window, it was completely restored. The church was built in 70 years which we understand was a rare achievement for those days. And the single broad gothic vault is very impressive. The open space feels greater even than a larger cathedral. None of this was obvious from outside. The name, del Pi, comes from a forest that once stood on this area, a pine forest.
