Santuari de Meritxell

Sanctuary in a contemporary structure with amazing views

Excellent

After visiting Andorra by route making, we got to the Sanctuary "Romanesque" Meritxell, a place of worship of the patron saint of the country, and found a contemporary structure, like that of Romanesque, but edgy in its outer forms. The original Romanesque sanctuary but was burned in the year 1972 and was destroyed. Shortly after they built the current sanctuary which aims to recover its past. It remains unfinished. The architect is Ricardo Bofil. The place is incredible, you go in and the light invades the main room because it has no walls, but glass doors, except for the altar. A mixture of Catholic shrine cloister that is reminiscent of a mosque and style units.
