Boí

The stone buildings and narrow streets of Boí extend across a mountainous terrain at 1273 meters elevation in the Catalan Pyrenees.

The 12th-century Church of Sant Joan features a Lombard-style bell tower and holds significant medieval architectural elements from the Romanesque period.

The original 12th-century paintings from Sant Joan Church, depicting mythical creatures, are now preserved in Barcelona's National Art Museum of Catalonia.

The village functions as an entry point to Aigüestortes National Park, offering visitor information services and accommodation for mountain travelers.

Traditional stone houses maintain their original architectural characteristics, creating an authentic medieval mountain settlement that received UNESCO recognition.
