Tempesta en una tassa de te

Cultural heritage · Monument

Once you pass the Coll de la Botella, and at an altitude of 2115 meters, we find a unique sculpture at the roadside called "Tempesta en una tassa de te". Built in 1991 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Caixa Andorrana de Seguretat Social, it is a work by the American artist Dennis Oppenheim. It is a magnificent 13-meter diameter aluminum sculpture that symbolizes the magic hidden among the forces of nature. The structure also inverts the logic of problems and highlights that within the large scale in which the sculpture is located, a large problem in a small context becomes a small problem within a larger context. It is worth a visit for the spectacular landscape. In summer, you can park right at the foot of the sculpture. In winter, the area is closed due to snow, and you must leave the vehicle in the parking area of the ski resort and take a short walk.

Trouts Lake

Natural heritage · Lake

Climbing up to Estany de les Truites will allow you to discover first-hand the Comapedrosa Natural Park, where it is located. All the exuberance of high mountain fauna and flora at your fingertips. Next to the lake is the guarded Comapedrosa refuge, which offers accommodation and dining during the summer season.

Moles d'Arinsal

Cultural heritage · Architecture

Traditional architectural complex located in the village of Arinsal, a testament to the economic activity and everyday mountain life of past eras. The moles are part of the cultural heritage of the parish and preserve the essence of Pyrenean rural architecture. The natural surroundings where they are found, next to the river and surrounded by mountain landscapes, make this space a site of historical and cultural interest within the old town of Arinsal.

Church of Sant Climent de Pal

Cultural heritage · Church

Pal is one of the best-preserved rural villages in all of Andorra. Furthermore, it has been part of a special protection plan since 1997. In the center of the village stands the Romanesque church of Sant Climent, built between the 11th and 12th centuries, which still retains some of its original masonry. This building shows some interventions that took place after its construction. The plan is rectangular, and the original apse from the Romanesque period, likely semicircular, has not been preserved. Therefore, today we find a square-shaped apse that we would date to the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Access to the interior of the temple is via a porch built in the 20th century by Cèsar Martinell, which features a pointed arch decorated with serrated teeth. Inside, next to the apse, one can access the Romanesque Lombard bell tower with a square plan and three stories in height. The distinctive features of this bell tower include the double geminate windows on the third floor, which are atypical in smaller bell towers like this one and represent a unique element in the Andorran valleys. Inside the church, we find an original granite baptismal font. On the other side is a second font from the 12th century that, in this case, was used to store oil. Two other notable pieces are the polychrome wooden cross from the 12th century and the Baroque altarpiece of the apse, which was made in 1709 and dedicated to Saint Climent.
