View from below of pillar and vaulted ceiling of the central apse of Sant Climent de Taull church, 1123, consecrated by Ramon Guillem, the bishop of Roda, Taull, Province of Lleida, Catalonia, Spain. The church is one of the best examples of Romanesque architecture. It is known for its campanile and for its murals, which were removed to the MNAC (National Art Museum of Catalonia, Barcelona) in 1922, to prevent the theft of the murals. The murals, which are frescos, were removed by painting them with horsehide glue and then peeling off the hardened glue, carrying the pigments of the mural with it. Among the murals is a striking rendition of Christ Pantocrator visible at the bottom right of the picture. Sant Climent church is part of the Catalan Romanesque churches of the Vall de Boi which were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in November 2000. .
