Erill la Vall, Mountain village in La Vall de Boí, Spain.
Erill la Vall is a mountain village in La Vall de Boí situated on a natural terrace above a mountain stream, built from stone structures with wooden balconies. The settlement stands at about 1240 meters elevation and is anchored by the Romanesque church of Santa Eulalia, whose six-story bell tower dominates the village skyline.
The village took shape in early medieval times when the region was first settled with stone structures. Construction of the Romanesque church of Santa Eulalia occurred in the 11th century as part of broader religious development across the valley.
The church of Santa Eulalia displays a replica of a Descent from the Cross sculpture group, the only complete work created by the Erill Workshop. This collection shapes how the village looks today and speaks to the craft tradition that shaped local life for centuries.
The village connects to other locations in La Vall de Boí through hiking trails and local roads that wind through the mountain landscape. Regular bus service from Lleida makes it accessible for visitors planning to explore multiple sites in the valley.
The six-story bell tower displays intricate Lombard Romanesque decorations across each level, making it one of the valley's finest examples of this architectural style. Visitors often overlook how the tower's detailed ornamentation reflects the skill of masons who worked on similar churches throughout the region.
