Sant Feliu de Barruera

The church of Sant Feliu de Barruera has architectural elements from the 11th and 12th centuries. The differences can be seen in its two apses: the 11th century apse, with Lombard decoration and irregular construction, and the 12th century apse, with more regular ashlars. The alterations and interior elements show how the temple has adapted to the needs of the community over time. UNESCO World Heritage Site
