Day 340 - 17/08/2014 : Sant Joan de Boí

The church of Sant Joan is situated at the entrance to the village of Boí which gives its name to the valley.

The church has three naves, with apses at the eastern ends of the two side names. The original timber roof has been replaced with stone.

The bell tower rises to the south of the southern nave. The church was heavily renovated in the 18th century, but many of the renovations were removed in the 1960s. Its paintings were removed in 1919 and taken to MNAC.

 The view with the mountains behind is breathtaking !!!
