11th-century Medieval stone church re-emerges


For most of the past four decades, all that has been visible of the village of Sant Roma has been the belltower of its stone church, peeping above the water beside forested hills from a valley flooded in the 1960s to provide water for the Catalonia region.

This year, due to drought, receding waters have exposed the 11th-century church completely. The once underwater church now left tourists gazing at it on the dusty bed of the reservoir.
