Sant Climent de Taull church

Detail of a painted wooden chest depicting a pope blessing the crowds at 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. Sant Climent de Taull church is part of the Catalan Romanesque churches of the Vall de Boí which were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in November 2000. Picture by Manuel Cohen.
