The Sant Joan de Caselles Church is a beautiful Romanesque church located in the parish of Canillo, Andorra, a small country in the Pyrenees between France and Spain. It is one of the most important historical and architectural landmarks in Andorra, offering insight into the country’s medieval religious and cultural heritage.
The church was built in the 12th century (around the year 1,100) and is a fine example of the Romanesque style that was common in the Pyrenees region at the time. It features a simple yet elegant design, with a rectangular nave, a semicircular apse, and a bell tower. The bell tower is square and has several levels with small windows typical of the period.

Sant Joan de Caselles was originally built as part of a rural religious complex that served local communities. Over time, it has been renovated and preserved, but it retains much of its original charm and historical significance.
