Meritxell

Meritxell has served as Andorra’s principal Marian pilgrimage centre in the Pyrenees since medieval times. Set above the Valira d’Orient valley in the parish of Canillo, it is closely tied to the country’s identity through Our Lady of Meritxell, Andorra’s patron saint. The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Meritxell was rebuilt to a design by Catalan architect Ricard Bofill after a fire destroyed the earlier church in 1972. Its feast day, 8 September, is Andorra’s National Day. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on Andorra’s Pyrenean valleys.
