Sunday 14th June 2015 – Vall de Boí
Visit the Romanesque heritage of Vall de Boí (World Heritage by UNESCO)
The Romanesque heritage of Vall de Boí is exceptional due to the existence of a large number of
churches of the same architectural style concentrated in such a small area. Until well into the
last century the valley remained quite isolated, which prevented the arrival of builders, artists,
architects or priests willing to make changes to the original works. Thanks to this fact, these
churches have been preserved over time with only minor alterations, meaning that their original
conception has hardly changed.
