Sant Martí is the church of La Cortinada, the stone village halfway between Ordino and El Serrat. It is Romanesque, from the 12th century, extended in the 17th and 18th centuries, and inside it keeps wall paintings from the late 12th century attributed to the so-called Master of La Cortinada.

When you can visit

It is only open from 1 July to 31 August, and then entry is free. Visit Ordino does not publish daily hours or guided visits: if you want to be sure, ask at the Ordino tourist office before you go. The rest of the year you see it from outside.

With the Llorts mine

It is close to the Llorts mine and the Ruta del Ferro and next to the Hotel Mu. If you like Romanesque churches with paintings, in Andorra la Vella you have the Espai Columba, open all year.

Opening hours and prices can change: check them before you go.
