TA Ü LL FALL IN LOVE WITH

Taüll is a small village; however it holds an important place in the history of world art and architecture. The reason? It is home to two of the Vall de Boí Romanesque churches, which were declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the year 2000. Santa Maria and Sant Climent de Taüll are two gems which stand as testament to the human creative genius of the Middle Ages. They are pure examples, a matching set if you will, of primordial Romanesque art set in a rural Pyrenean landscape which is largely unchanged. Almost every town in this valley (Coll, Cardet, Barruera, Durro, Erill la Vall and Boí) contains a church which belongs to this Romanesque cluster, and a trip around them interweaves art, nature, landscape and history. The village of Taüll, in the Vall de Boí municipality, awaits your visit to share with you its treasure. Where Romanesque art touches the sky
