The Consortium is made up of the Department of Culture of the Generalitat of Catalonia, the Deputation of Lleida, the Regional Council of Alta Ribagorça, the Vall de Boí Town Council, the Bishopric of Urgell and the Bishopric of Lleida.

The headquarters of the Consortium is the Vall de Boí Romanesque Centre, located in the village of Erill la Vall.

Mission, objective and services

The mission of the Consortium is the conservation and diffusion of the outstanding universal values for which this property was inscribed on the World Heritage List.

With this objective in mind, the Consortium carries out various actions ranging from the restoration and ordinary maintenance of the churches to actions for the cultural and tourist dissemination of the complex.

In order to make the churches accessible to the public and present the heritage in such a way that the visitor can experience the significance of the complex, the Romanesque Centre offers three main services: the opening of the churches to the public, the guided tour service and the interpretation and visitor reception area.
