The church and its famous Pantocrator
Sant Climent de Taüll stands out for its six-storey bell tower and the murals of its apse, presided over by the Christ Pantocrator, a masterpiece of European Romanesque painting. The original is kept at the MNAC, and in the church you can see it recreated through a spectacular projection (video mapping) that returns colour to the walls.
