Old church of Sant Romà de Sau
The old church of Sant Romà de Sau is an 11th-century Lombard Romanesque parish church of the abandoned old village of Sant Romà de Sau in the municipality of Vilanova de Sau, Osona county, in the mountain region of the Guilleries, Catalonia, Spain. Consecrated in 1062 and submerged in 1962 through the completion of the Sau Reservoir on the river Ter, the church has been recognised as the oldest standing submerged church worldwide by the Official World Record Organisation. While the historic church and village, normally 23 metres underwater, can be reached on foot during dry periods, the tip of the church's iconic bell tower is invariably visible above the surface, serving as a popular indicator of the level of water resources.
