1. ROMANESQUE ARCHITECTURE
To complete the study about Catalan Romanesque architecture
we visited the Church of “Sta. Maria de la Romànica” and “St.
Pau de Riu Sec”. We observed the characteristic elements of
this architecture.
Although churches are very small you can see the main elements
that characterize the Romanesque.

It is the “Crist de Taüll”
The Romanesque Catalan Art is very famous around the world !!!
