Church of Sant Pere Màrtir

Given the importance of the textile sector in the parish, the architect Josep Danés designed the Church of Sant Pere Màrtir as a building dedicated to wool-makers. The Church of Sant Pere Màrtir is Neo-romanesque in style and features a bell tower. It was built in 1956 and is made of granite stone. The main altarpiece is thought to have been built with the help of the Brotherhood of Wool Makers and Weavers. The exterior facade is decorated with ceramic and prints on the Beatitudes by sculptor Sergi Mas, as well as an Immaculate Conception by sculptor Josep Viladomat. The Mercy statue inside the temple was created by the same sculptor.


Around the church, there's a sculpture of a lace-maker, or "puntaire," as well as different examples of classic Andorran architecture, such as Josep Viladomat's La Tosca and Engordany bridges. The Viladomat Museum (sculpture), the Romanesque Art Models Museum, and the Exhibition Hall of the Commune of Escaldes-Engordany are all housed at the Escaldes-Engordany Art Centre, CAEE, which is located at Avinguda Carlemany 30.
