Following the route of Sant Esteve de Llémena we find the hermitage of Sant Cebrià and the chapel of the Virgin of Bell-lloc, both decorated with current paintings, as we can appreciate in this report in The Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia .
This itinerary begins at the church of Sant Esteve de Llémena, which stands on top of a small hill near the Llémena stream, about 600 meters from the center of Sant Esteve, in the municipality of Sant Aniol de Finestres.
The first specific date is that this church already existed in the year 1056, but an earlier pre-Romanesque construction cannot be ruled out.
Currently, conservation and restoration works are being carried out on the wall paintings, removing the covering layers that covered them.
Then we visit the hermitage of Sant Cebrià, located on a hill from where Sant Esteve de Llémena dominates and almost the whole valley.
The temple, with a single nave and a semicircular apse next to the east, has a small loophole window in the central part. The entrance door is next to the west and above it rises the belfry bell tower, with a double opening.
Another stop is the chapel of the Mare de Déu de Bell-lloc. The access door to this small sanctuary has a semicircular voussoir arch. It has a gabled roof, with the perpendicular ridge at the door.
The belfry bell tower has a double opening and sits on the façade that gave access to the chapel. It is currently in a state of ruin, as can be seen in the photographs.
