We will start de route on the church of Sant Climent and we will follow from the lower town up to the main square, where the church of Santa Maria is. We will see the importance of both the inner and outer spaces, the communication of the symbolic message and how the consacration cerimony was developed.

A village and three churches
Did you know that Taüll had three Romanesque churches? To learn more about them we’ll start our tour at the Church of Sant Climent and walk to the Church of Santa Maria. During the tour we’ll explain the exceptional nature of Taüll and the singular buildings.
Walled enclosure
Have you noticed that Boí has preserved the remains of a wall? Why does the church stand outside it? We’ll answer this question during the walk through the streets of the vialleg and we’ll see some constructive solutions suited to the difficult relief.
The village that bears the Lords’ name
The village bears the same name as the Lords of Erill, but where were the Lords of the valley really from? And what was their relationship with the Vall de Boí and its churches? We’ll also focus on the construction materials and their direct provenance from the area around the town.
The village at the bottom of the valley
Why is Barruera the only town located in the flattest part of the valley? During the itinerary we’ll focus on the evolution of the landscape and view the traditional ways of communication and their relationship with the church.
The legacy of the medieval past
What traces of Durro’s millennial past remain? The visit we propose will allow you to learn more about what mediaeval villages were like, what their inhabitants lived on and what the territory that surrounded them was like.
The route links the two UNESCO heritage sites in the Vall de Boí. The walking route that starts and ends in the town of Durro will take visitors to the Hermitage of Sant Quirc and the Durro Lighthouse, an exceptional location of great natural and cultural beauty.
We’ll revisit the route of the 1907 Archaeological Mission led by Josep Puig i Cadafalch which popularised the churches in the Pyrenees. We’ll visit Santa Eulàlia d’Erill la Vall as the starting point and head towards Sant Joan de Boí and Sant Climent de Taüll.
