Santuari de Meritxell Gets Musical Upgrade | Andorra News
Description
The Santuari de Meritxell just got a major musical and spiritual upgrade—with four new bells now harmonizing with the five originals to play the iconic Ave de Meritxell and more, all thanks to three years of engineering magic, costing 63,545 euros. Culture Minister Mònica Bonell praised the blend of innovation and heritage, especially since they once didn’t even have the notes for the beloved melody. Beyond the bells, a stunning new Via Crucis path by Andorran artist Martin Blanco—inspired by Caravaggio and featuring Mossèn Ramon—welcomes pilgrims through 14 stations blending scripture and art. This is part of a broader push to elevate visitor experience at Andorra’s most visited monument, which drew over 25,000 visitors last summer, with electrical upgrades set to finish by November.
