value where we can find scenes from Saint John’s life, who is the
saint patron of that church.

of the cemetery that surrounds the church.
Oue High Lady of Meritxell
”Nostra Senyora de Meritxell” is the Saint Matron Mother and
protector of Andorra. Her sanctuary is located on the left margin of the
Valira river, between Canillo and Encamp. Every year is celebrated the
8 of September holiday, that is also the National Day of Andorra. That
day is celebrated a mass in wich all the authorities and the faithful
