Sant Andreu de Baltarga

The church features a single nave covered with a semicircular barrel vault, reinforced by two transverse arches and complemented by a bell tower.

Originally consecrated in 891 by Bishop Ingobert, the current structure dates from the 11th century with substantial modifications made during the 18th century.

The church's former altar frontal, displayed at the National Art Museum of Catalonia, depicts a central Pantocrator surrounded by evangelist symbols.

The church stands on the southern slope of Baltarga hill and can be reached via the N-260 road connecting Bellver to Alp.

The original Romanesque mural paintings from the church's apse and presbytery arch are preserved at the Diocesan Museum of Urgell.
