Sant Tomàs de Fluvià Church

The parish church of Sant Tomàs de Fluvià is a Romanesque building that was part of a Benedictine monastery founded in the 11th century and built on the remains of previous constructions, probably dating back to the 7th and 8th centuries. It preserves a pictorial ensemble that was discovered when the roof was restored. In the apse we find the figure of the Lord in Majesty inside a mandorla and surrounded by the tetramorph and the angels. If we follow the description starting on the north side we will see his entrance to Jerusalem, above which there is a representation of the holy supper, and then the imprisonment of Christ; the account in which St Peter cuts off Malcus’ ear and then the figure of Jesus healing him, as a soldier takes his other arm. The next scene is the crucifixion. And the last theme is that of the three Marys in front of Christ’s tomb.
