Andorra ~ Church of Sant Martí de Nagol~

... Nice view of a small Romanesque church located inside the cliff on one side, and overhanging the valley on the other... the church of Sant Martí de Nagol is mentioned for the first time in an old document from the year 1048... this small but fascinating church at an altitude of 1102 meters can only be accessed by crossing a steep path from the town of Nagol... seeing it clinging to the rock on a cliff high above the Valira valley is stunning... this postcard is with a stamp from the Spanish postal service... Thanks a lot Josep&Assumpta! ♥(ˆ⌣ˆԅ)  

Nagol is a population center in the Principality of Andorra located in the parish of Sant Julià de Lòria.

The semicircular apse is located on the north side and is also, to a large extent, embedded in the rock. Inside, the floor is cut directly on the rock and the presbytery is raised, taking advantage of the shape of the terrain. The church was restored at the beginning of the 80s, of the 20thC.
