Chapter XXXVI Andorra, Europe
Andorra: a small country in southern Europe. Located between France and Spain, on the southern slopes of the Pyrenees. It has an area of 465 square kilometers and a population of 46,974, and its capital is Andorra. The economy was originally dominated by agriculture and animal husbandry, but tourism has accounted for most of the income in recent years. Taxes were low, many European goods flowed in, and commerce flourished.
1. Madelieu-Claror-Peta Grand Canyon
Covering an area of 4,247 hectares, it epitomizes thousands of years of hard work in the high Pyrenees. It shows boreal alpine landscapes, glacier-laden cliffs, vast alpine pastures, and vertical valleys covered with beautiful forests.
The Grand Canyon reflects the climate, economy and social changes of Andorra in the past nearly a thousand years, and also reflects the unique pastoral culture and magnificent mountain culture formed in Andorra throughout the environment, especially some geographically peculiar landscapes, such as traces of stone weathering and some traces of erosion by iron lava, which are more unique.
2. Church of Santa Da Golima
Located in the town of Santa Dagolima in the parish of Andorra la Vella, it is a very old church. It is uniquely shaped, with a square nave topped entirely by a wooden structure and a square arch, and is one of only a few such buildings in the Pyrenees region of southwestern Europe.
The church of Santa Da Grima is decorated with the most popular Roman frescoes of the 12th century, which are so beautiful, vivid and precious that they were lost abroad in the 2030s and returned to Andorra until 2007. In addition, the church of Santa Dar Golima preserves a statue of the Virgin from the 12th to the 13th century and an altarpiece made in the Baroque style made in the 18th century, which is the most precious collection of the church. In addition to the Church of Santa Da Grima , a must-see attraction, a quiet European town with other traditional buildings that are unique to visitors can stroll through the beautiful town and savor the historical charm of these buildings.
III. Church of Saint-Istére
Located in the parish of Andorra la Vella, it was built between the 11th and 12th centuries and is one of the oldest churches in Andorra and has been included in the Andorran Cultural Heritage List.
The church of Saint-Istéres was restored in the 20th century, and with the exception of the eastern arch, which still retains the Romanesque architectural style, most of the church has been dressed in modern architecture: it has large and transparent stained glass windows, which create a colorful halo when the sunlight enters the church, making people feel comfortable and warm. Today, the Church of Saint-Estée has been opened up as a tourist attraction that attracts many tourists, where traditional architecture is perfectly combined with modernity, and the ancient aroma is full of modern charm and charm.
