Santa Maria de Taüll - a photo on Flickriver

Aquesta esglèsia és la "germana petita" de Sant Climent de Taüll, ja que, tot i trobar-se al centre del poble, tant la seva estructura com les seves pintures no son tan espectaculars ni famoses com la seva germana. Això si, continua sent la parroquia del poble, i una impressionant esglèsia del s. XII, patrimoni de la humanitat.

La Vall de Boí, a l'Alta Ribagorça, compta amb el conjunt romànic més extraordinari de Catalunya, així com un dels més importants d'Europa. Per això forma part del Patrimoni de la Humanitat de la UNESCO. I amés la natura que ho envolta és preciosa.

====================

This church, Sta. Maria de Taüll is located in the center of the mountain village of Taüll (now very touristic), and it's the somewhat lesser sister of Sant Climent de Taül, the other church of the village. Anyway, it's a gorgeous example of XII Century architecture and frescoes.

The Vall de Boí, in the Catalan Pyrenees, is home to one of the most unique romanesque churches in Europe. There are 9 churches part of the UNESCO World Heritage, all of them with most of the structure dating from the XI Century, and including precious frescoes, wooden sculpture and other religious elements, all in romanesque style. All this survived for a thousand years thanks to the extreme isolation of this Catalan valley, surrounded by 3000 m. hight mountains. Obviously, now modern roads make the comunications much easier. Also, the nature surrounds all the churches with beautiful peaks and forests.
