Catalan Romanesque Churches of the Vall de Boí

The group consists of nine Romanesque churches and a chapel nestled in the Pyrenees mountains, displaying Lombard architectural elements and stone bell towers.

These religious structures, built between the 11th and 12th centuries, represent the medieval social organization under the Lords of Erill and Roda de Isábena bishopric.

The churches contain significant medieval art, including wall paintings from Sant Climent and Santa Maria in Taüll, now preserved at Barcelona's National Museum of Catalan Art.

Visitors can explore all nine churches through guided tours that explain their architectural features, historical context, and religious significance within the valley.

The high concentration of Romanesque churches in this small geographic area remained unchanged due to the valley's isolation throughout the 20th century.
