History
How it came to be
The village grew up around the 12th–13th-century church of Sant Andreu, whose bell tower rises over the rooftops. Inside hangs the celebrated Christ of Salardú (Sant Crist de Salardú), a 12th-century Romanesque wood carving regarded as one of the most precious in the whole valley.
