Church of St Cornelius and St Cyprian

Carrer del Turer, Ordino, Andorra

Description:

The Church of St. Cornelius and St. Cyprian, located in the Andorran city of Ordino, 10 kilometers north of the city of Andorra la Vella. It was built in the Middle Ages in the Gothic style. The reconstruction of the church took place between the XVII and XIX centuries.

All five altars made during the Baroque restoration, which were dedicated to the patrons of the church, have survived to this day. Forged grilles of the Church of St. Cornelius and St. Cyprian, cast by hand in the best workshops of Ordino, date back to the XVII and XIX centuries. The main attraction of the temple is a 44-centimeter wooden statue of the Virgin Mary, made at the junction of the XI - XII centuries, which is considered the smallest in the country.
