Facts and practical information

Nestled in the picturesque Vall de Boí in the Spanish Pyrenees, the Church of Santa Eulàlia d'Erill la Vall stands as a magnificent example of Romanesque architecture and religious heritage. This historic church, dating back to the 12th century, is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site that includes the Catalan Romanesque Churches of the Vall de Boí.

Santa Eulàlia d'Erill la Vall is renowned for its slender six-story Lombard-style bell tower, which punctuates the landscape with its height and elegance. The church's design is characterized by its simplicity and harmony, with well-preserved frescoes and a wooden altar piece that are of significant historical and artistic value.

The building's austere exterior belies the richness within, featuring intricate stone carvings around the portal and a series of sculpted biblical figures that stand as silent sentinels to the past. Inside, the nave is covered with a barrel vault, a typical feature of Romanesque architecture, which creates an atmosphere of solemnity and reverence.
