Sant Climent de Taull church

Detail of decorative Lombard arches and narrow window of a semicircular apse of Sant Climent de Taull church, 1123, consecrated by Ramon Guillem, the bishop of Roda, Taull, Province of Lleida, Catalonia, Spain. The building was constructed from granite blocks, the decorative elements and windows were carved in pumice. The church of Sant Climent is the largest; its characteristic Lombard architecture and interior decoration make it the symbol of Catalan Romanesque architecture. The Catalan Romanesque churches of the Vall de Boí were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in November 2000. Picture by Manuel Cohen.
