Scene Description: Source caption: "Església d'Esperan, des de la part de fora de l'absis. La construcció dóna mostres clares de deteriorament, també a l'interior. Tot i que encara resisteix, demana amb urgència algunes actuacions de consolidació que ara per ara no serien complexes. L'interior és d'una sola nau, amb dos petites capelles a la banda oriental, en molt mal estat. La primera que trobem en entrar pertanyia a ca de Martí, la segona a ca de Pei. Són les dos cases que hi havia al poble, de les quals encara podem identificar les restes (en arribar-hi des del sud, a mà dreta ca de Pei i a mà esquerra ca de Martí)."

Church Notes: 12thC (?) church; now disused
The baptismal font in this church may be the original of the 12th-century building, but it is impossible to assign it a date as it is a crude, irregular object without any decorative motifs; the basin is very irregular and oval rather than round, with one extreme narrow and pointed, the other rounder; it appears to have been secured with mortar to two 'lumps' of old concrete (?). There is no cover on it nor is there any trace of cover hardware on the basin top or sides. The font stands in the southwest corner of the nave, by the steps that lead to the bellfry and the west doorway. On the opposite side, on the south wall, was a wall-mounted holy-water stoup of roughly hemispherical shape, probably late-medieval; it was stolen in 2017. News of the theft of this stoup of this church appeared in El Mundo [www.elmundo.es/cataluna/2017/03/17/58cbc216268e3e92738b4604.html] [accessed 28 August 2018]: "La parroquia del Pont de Suert (Lleida) ha denunciado ante los Mossos d'Esquadra el robo de la pila del agua bendita de la iglesia de Sant Sadurní d'Esperan (Lleida), un pueblo deshabitado que pertenece a este municipio, ha informado a Europa Press el Obispado de Lleida. La desaparición de la pila del templo del núcleo deshabitado fue detectada el domingo pasado, según han publicado este viernes los diarios 'Segre' y 'La Mañana'. La iglesia está en muy mal estado y los servicios territoriales de Cultura ya habían redactado un proyecto de restauración presupuestado en unos 30.000 euros."
