2024-12-27 11:12
The Department of Cultural Heritage has initiated an archaeological intervention to locate the remains of the disappeared church of Sant Martí de Sella, in the parish of Escaldes-Engordany.
The church of Sant Martí de Sella is documented from the 12th century, and it is known that it was still standing in the 16th century. However, its exact location has been lost over time.
The archaeological intervention will consist of a series of georadar surveys and excavations in the area where the church is believed to have been located. The georadar surveys will allow to identify possible buried structures, while the excavations will allow to confirm the presence of the church and to study its remains.
The intervention is part of the project “Archaeological Map of Andorra”, which aims to locate and document all the archaeological sites in the country. The project is funded by the Government of Andorra and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
The archaeological intervention is expected to last for several months. If the remains of the church of Sant Martí de Sella are found, they will be excavated and studied in order to learn more about the history of the church and the parish of Escaldes-Engordany.
