The Iglesia de Sant Miquel d’Engolasters Church is located in the town of Engolasters, in Escaldes-Engordany, Andorra.
The Iglesia de Sant Miquel d’Engolasters Church, Romanesque in origin, was built before the 12th century. It has a rectangular floor with a single nave and semicircular apse. The temple also has a bell tower and an arcade added later.
This temple is characterised for the great disproportion between the nave and bell tower, of 17 metres high. On the top floor of the bell tower there are some sculpted heads in the centre of the arches of the windows, which are some of the few witnesses of Romanesque sculpture in Andorra.
