L'església romànica de St. Jaume de Frontanyà és una de les més impresionants de Catalunya, no únicament per la seva estructura i dimensions, sinó molt especialment per estar aixi i tot ubicada en el més petit dels municipis catalans, aillada a les montanyes del Berguedà.

El municipi del mateix nom és el menys habitat de Catalunya, només amb 24 habitants.

==============================================================

The romanesque church of Sant Jaume de Frontanyà is the only remaining structure of the former monastery of the same name. That's the key for the building of such big and old church in one of the less inhabited parts of Catalonia, in the middle of the mountains of the Berguedà. In fact, the municipality of Sant Jaume de Frontanyà is the smallest one in Catalonia, in terms of people, just 24.

Curiously enough, the coat of arms of the municipality is the same of the mytical Kingdom of Rohan in the Middle Earth, a white horse on a green field!
