Consecrated on December 10, 1123 by Ramon Guillem, Bishop of Roda-Barbastro, the church of Sant Climent de Taüll is built on top of an 11th century temple. It is the prototype of a Romanesque church with a basilica plan with three naves separated by columns and a gabled wooden roof, a head with three apses and a bell tower. The image of Christ in Majesty by Taüll has been one of the emblematic images most used to represent the Catalan Romanesque

Of the Romanesque churches in the Vall de Boí, this is one of the most beautiful. The original frescoes are in the museum, as always. Here they are digitally reconstructed and projected onto the walls. In addition, there is a very interesting digital reconstruction of the original artwork.

This port connects the Noguera Ribagorzana river basin with the Sis valley and the Isábena basin, right on the border between Catalonia and Aragon. From Bonansa, the pass is a little over six kilometers long, with a fairly constant average drop of around 7%. Its other slope, the one that follows the Obarra gorge until it crowns the port, is much longer. It is 15 kilometers long, but it is very flat, with percentages around 3%, until it practically reaches the top, where the last two kilometers present considerable unevenness, with ramps of more than 15%.

The port of Bonansa is located at an altitude of 1,380 meters, in an open area from which you can see the panorama of the surrounding mountains. The climb is demanding, but worth it.

Castejón de Sos is a fairly large Ribagorza municipality, compared to the small population centers that exist in the surroundings. It has hotels, supermarkets, restaurants and a pharmacy. It is very close to the Ventamillo Gorge, an imposing canyon crossed by the Ésera River.
