At the entrance to Taüll, this church is a gem not only for its elegant, simple lines and its slender six-storey belltower, but also for the art that once graced its interior. The central apse contains a copy of a famous 1123 mural that now resides in Barcelona’s Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya. At the church’s centre is a Pantocrator (Christ figure), whose rich Mozarabic-influenced colours, and expressive but superhuman features, have become a virtual emblem of Catalan Romanesque art. An audiovisual presentation gives background.
