Sant Joan de Caselles

One of the jewels of Andorran Romanesque, as well as one of the churches that maintains the highest degree of originality and authenticity. It houses a Romanesque Christ in Majesty, a unique piece that combines painting and sculpture, as well as one of the best made altarpieces in the country!

The church of Sant Joan de Caselles is among those that have best preserved their Romanesque origins. This temple, built between the 11^th and 12^th centuries, follows the characteristic architectural structure of Andorran Romanesque churches: a rectangular nave with a wooden ceiling, a semi-circular apse and a Lombard bell tower. It also features two porches from the 15^th and 16^th centuries. Inside, you’ll find the remains of a stucco Romanesque Christ in Majesty from the 12^th century, and the high-quality altarpiece, dating from 1527 and featuring influences from the Italian and German renaissance.
