Art (Romanesque in Val d'Aran)

In the section devoted to Romanesque in the Val d'Aran will take care of Santa Maria de Arties, Assumption of Mary Bossost and Sant Miquel de Vielha.

Santa Maria de Arties

Santa Maria de Arties is one of the most interesting Romanesque churches of the Val d'Aran. Catalan belongs to the Lombard style.

He was a three-nave building topped by a semicircular apse triple header, but the central square was replaced by another that serves as the vestry.

As usual, the most appreciated is the bell tower, located here at the foot of the temple. Stands out for its large size and futile game of each floor that increases in number as it ascends.


Assumption of Mary Bossost

The Church of the Assumption of Mary is an extraordinary Bossost Romanesque church of the Val d'Aran, probably the best in the whole region, thanks to the balance of its architecture and especially the rich iconographic features.

The Assumption of Mary Bossost has three naves and three apses with arcs and Lombard lesen. Besides a beautiful Romanesque bell tower tops the overall picture of the building.

The covers are very interesting and complete. The southern blanket under her large pointed archivolts Trinity Crismon in your eardrum, while the northern, more complete and interesting, offering another set of lintel and tympanum with other Crismon a ruthless and expressive and Tetramorph Pantocrator surrounded, in turn, by the moon and sun.


Sant Miquel de Vielha

Sant Miquel de Vielha Church is a very late one nave is dominated by two factors: your home and Mijaran Crist.
The cover is large and complex, with pointed archivolts full of sculptures that allude to Doomsday, and a kind of eardrum with statues embedded. There is a capital of great interest because it shows three faces that share the eyes in pairs, taking a total of only four. Their eyes are certainly disturbing.

The Mijaran Crist is a piece of wood a Romanesque Christ, which is preserved only the bust.
Your picture is exquisite and imposing.
