The temple, with cross-shaped plan, apse, three naves and two side chapels, and several tombs from the sixth and seventh centuries, have appeared.

It would seem doubtful that a pagan temple would be in the form of a cross.

This 14th- to 17th-century church was built over what may have been the tomb of Feliu of Africa, martyred during Diocletian's persecution at the beginning of the 4th century. St Felix was apparently a 4th-century bishop of Girona. Important in the architectural history of Catalonia, the church styles of both Romanesque and Gothic. The main facade of the church is Baroque. The bell tower--has eight pinnacles and one central tower, each supported on a solid octagonal base. The spire was struck by lightning and broke in 1581 and never replaced. The interior contains a 16th-century altarpiece and a 14th-century alabaster Reclining Christo. There are pagan and Christian sarcophagi set in the walls.

It may have been ancient and it may have been Roman but unlikely it was pagan.
