Ruins of Romanesque Church of Sant Llorenç de Saraís

is the old Romanesque parish church of the abandoned village of Saraís. Given its state, in ruins, it did not enter the catalogue of historical and artistic monuments of the valley, nor the more recent UNESCO World Heritage Site. It belongs to the municipal district of Vall de Boí, within the old district of Durro, in Alta Ribagorça. Of the Romanesque church, only a fragment of the apse remains, inserted in another later building that is now a stable for cattle. It is a work of the 11th century, with a simple but careful structure. It is the base of the bell tower, preserved up to about 2 m high, with a width of 1.5 m. It is very likely that the rest of the church was used to build, in modern times, the church that is right next to it.
