Sant Climent de Taüll
Taüll, Spain
A 12th-century Romanesque church with a slender bell tower, one of the Vall de Boí churches listed by UNESCO. A projection recreates the famous apse painting, whose original is in Barcelona’s MNAC.
The church of Sant Climent de Taüll was consecrated on 10 December 1123 and is one of the Catalan Romanesque churches of the Vall de Boí, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000. It is a three-aisled basilica with three apses; the slender, square bell tower stands at the south corner. The church is famous for its apse painting of Christ in a mandorla by the “Master of Taüll”. The murals were removed in the early twentieth century and are now in the National Art Museum of Catalonia (MNAC) in Barcelona; in the church you see a replica.
A video projection in the main apse shows the paintings held in the MNAC together with the original fragments that remain. Screenings run at fixed times, opening hours change with the season, and tickets can be booked online through the Centre del Romànic, so plan your visit accordingly. The village’s other church, Santa Maria de Taüll, is also in Taüll.
