This interesting town is home to the Church of Sant Marti and the restored mill wheels and sawmills of Mas d’en Sole. Originally dating from the Romanesque period, the Church houses part of a pictorial wall cycle from the end of the 12th century as well as an iconography dedicated to Sant Marti, the bishop of Tours. There are also four Baroque altarpieces from the 17th and 18th centuries and some very interesting furniture including a console and two benches decorated with intricate motifs. The mill wheel of Mas d’en Sole is an interesting restored 17th century industrial installation found on the outskirts of La Cortinada. Source:alltravelandorra.com

The church at Santa Coloma is one of the oldest churches in Andorra. Originally built in the pre-Romanesque style, it has undergone various alterations over the centuries including the addition of a 12th century bell tower and a 17th century portico on the south wall. The Church has many interesting features including its 12th century wooden icon of Our Lady of Mercy. Unfortunately the splendid Romanesque frescoes of Andorra now lie in the Prussian State Cultural Museum in Berlin. Source:alltravelandorra.com
