Parish Church of Our Lady of the Assumption (Església Parroquial de la Mare de Déu de l’Assumpció)

Parish Church of our Lady of Assumption is designed in a Renaissance style; it has a Baroque facade and has a square stone belfry. There is much devotion to a Holy Christ in this part of Catalunya. According to a local legend, the Christ of Cogul was the brother of the Christ  in Granadella, and Christ of Balaguer, and even their three crosses were carved out of the same tree. In the past, the church of Our Lady of Assumption housed an image of the Christ in a side chapel, to the left of the high altar.
