Church of Saint Andrew

The church of Saint Andrew features a rectangular basilica plan with three naves, Gothic central nave, and two Romanesque lateral naves covered by barrel vaults.

Built during the 12th and 13th centuries, the church represents the transition between Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles in the Aran Valley region.

The Renaissance mural paintings from the 17th century decorate the church interior, forming one of the largest collections in the Aran Valley.

The octagonal bell tower reaches 25 meters in height and contains loopholes and buttresses that demonstrate defensive architectural elements.

The church preserves a wooden carving known as Christ of Salardú from the 13th century, positioned at the high altar as a major religious artifact.
