The 30th of November, conservation works will begin on the roof of the Church of Sant Climent de Taüll, promoted by the Agència Catalana del Patrimoni Cultural and by the Departament de Cultura de la Generalitat de Catalunya, with an investment of 600,000€.
The project aims to ensure the conservation of the roof and to correct the deficiencies detected across the building as a whole. The works will improve its waterproofing and reinforce several elements of the historic timber structure, thus contributing to the preservation of both the building and the artworks housed inside it. The intervention continues the preliminary studies carried out in 2025 on the timber elements of the roof. This work has included a diagnosis of the conservation state of the structure and the collection of samples for dendrochronological studies. This technique, based on the analysis of tree growth rings, allows to advance on the dating of the materials and to deepen the knowledge of the different construction phases of this monument. The results of the studies will contribute to expand scientific knowledge about Sant Climent de Taüll and will provide relevant information to define future conservation actions for the site as a whole.
The works are expected to continue until the end of spring 2027; during this time, the church will necessarily be closed to the public. The rest of the churches and the Centre del Romànic will remain open on their usual opening hours, which are kept up to date on this website.
