Comunidor i campanar / Be gone, storm!
Hi ha diverses esglesies fortificades per Catalunya, però en aquest cas, l'esglesia va passar a formar part directament de les muralles del castell. Es tracta de la Santa Creu de Calafell, al Baix Penedès.
La torreta a l'esquerra del campanar és el comunidor, per a beneir els camps i expulsar les tempestes espiritualment.

==================================
There are fortified churches and then there are churches embeded in the walls of a castle, like this one, in the castle of Calafell. The church is Santa Creu and it was here before the walls.
The church was built in the XI Century and most of the castle in the XIV Century, but it was destroyed in the XVII Century.
The building to the left is the conjuratory, where the priest blessed the fields and warded off storms. Or at least tried to.
