With a black-roofed spire that rather looks as though it were transplanted from Transylvania, Gothic Sant Miquèu church dominates Vielha's skyline. The church's architectural styles span six centuries, including a 12th-century font, 13th-century portal, 16th-century bell, and an exterior that encapsulates the transition from Romanesque to Gothic. Within, find the 12th-century Crist de Mijaran icon, an almost life-sized wooden bust depicting a haggard Christ with a wonderfully serene expression.
The sculpture is thought to have been part of a Descent from the Cross group.
