  Beautiful place. We were fortunate, that they explained the history of that place, without asking, and everything related to its modern architecture. Which makes you appreciate it a lot more. The exhibition of the 1,100 Bibles, although closed, is something that remains to be seen. Just 15 minutes from Andorra la Vella.

  It was a pleasant surprise to find such a modern style inside, but the church atmosphere is very peaceful. We also liked the museum that has many models of old churches from Andorra.

  A waste of time. There is no one there during open hours, no information and the church is mediocre at best. The old churches only has pictures of other churches, which are quite bad, and half of the rooms were closed. Don't waste your time.
