Saint Andrew Church of Arinsal is an excellent example of Andorran Romanesque architecture, notable for its square bell tower and picturesque setting.

It is a window into Andorra’s past.

Given the characteristics of a Romanesque building and its location in a rural setting, access for people with reduced mobility may be limited. It is advisable to contact the La Massana Tourist Office in advance at +376 739 500 for specific information about accessibility and possible adaptations.
