«Descubrir» y «descubrirse» en el románico: un ejemplo catalán de patrimonio de la humanidad

A strong link between Romanesque art and Catalan national identity emerged during the 19th century's nationalist movements, resurfacing significantly when the Catalan Romanesque Churches of the Vall de Boí were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This study reveals that the mountain symbolism in the Pyrenees further reinforced this identification, positioning Romanesque art as a 'national art' with deep cultural resonance. The research analyzes the World Heritage designation process and its socio-economic impacts on a small, tourism-dependent region, highlighting how heritage recognition can both shape and reflect national identity narratives.
