ENGLISH
The agustinian Monastery of Sant Jaume de Frontanyà is located in
center of the town of the same name, in the Catalan region of the
Berguedà.
In 11th century it was constructed to welcome the community of Sant Jaume Vell, who was in badly condition at the top of the mountain. One knows that in 1066 already they were in the new construction. The lords of the place made great donations, arriving have six canons and one prior. From the death of its last prior Arnald Fresc, in 1395, its decay began, since the commandatary priors began to adapt rents that had the monastery. The extinction of the monasteries of the order of San Agustín in Catalonia in 1592, caused that it passed to depend on the bishopric of Solsona.

CASTELLANO
El Monasterio agustiniano de Sant Jaume de Frontanyà está situado en
el centro del pueblo del mismo nombre, en la comarca catalana del
Berguedà.
En el siglo XI se construyó para acoger la comunidad de Sant Jaume Vell, que estaba en mal estado en lo alto de la montaña. Se sabe que en el año 1066 ya estaban en la nueva edificación. Los señores del lugar hacían grandes donaciones, llegando a tener seis canónigos y un prior. A partir de la muerte de su último prior Arnald Fresc, en 1395, se inició su decadencia, ya que los priores comendatarios se empezaron a apropiar las rendas que tenía el monasterio. La extinción de los monasterios de la orden de San Agustín en Cataluña en el año 1592, hizo que pasara a depender del obispado de Solsona.
Del monasterio solo queda la iglesia de una sola nave, tres ábsides y transepto. La nave y los brazos del transepto tienen bóveda de cañón, sobre el crucero hay una cúpula ochavada, que forma un cimborrio en el exterior de doce caras, único de este periodo en Cataluña. En el ábside central hay cinco hornacinas semicirculares separadas por semicolumnas.
En el exterior la fachada presenta una ventana en forma de ojo de buey, sobre la puerta de entrada formada por dos arcos de medio punto en degradación.
Los ábsides tienen una decoración de tres series de cinco arcuaciones separadas por lesenas en el central y frisos de arcuaciones en los laterales. En el cimborrio también se encuentra un friso con arcuaciones.
El campanario cuadrado, es del siglo XVI, colocado sobre la fachada principal.
