A sota els cingles de Ferran,
contemplant les aigües de la riera de Beget que s’esmunyen cap al
Llierca, hi trobem l’antic santuari de la Mare de Déu
d’Escales.
L’arquitectura del temple és molt
complicada, abastant pràcticament totes les èpoques del romànic. La
part baixa dels murs correspon al segle X; la part superior i
la coberta de llosa daten del segle XI; la galilea adossada a la
façana de ponent és del XII i l’àbside, semicircular, amb cornisa i
finestra central ha estat datada del XIII. El campanar, de torre
quadrada amb obertures a quatre vents i teulat a dos vessants, s’hi
accedeix des de l’exterior.
Santa Maria d’Escales va ser
parròquia fins l’acabament del XVI, passant a dependre aleshores de
Sant Llorenç d’Oix.

the cliffs of Ferran, contemplating
the waters of the stream of Beget that
slip towards the Llierca, there is the

century; the galilea attached to the
west facade is from XII and the

with openings to four winds and
roof in two slopes, is accessed
from the outside.
