Les Bons (Catalan pronunciation: [lez ˈβɔns]) is a village in the parish of Encamp, Andorra. The Romanesque church Església de Sant Romà de les Bons is located within the village. The village is undergoing a renovation project that is expected to end in 2026.
Geography
[edit | edit source]Les Bons is located within the parish of Encamp, in the country of Andorra. It is at an altitude of 1,336 meters.[1] The area is at risk for landslides and was unreachable by vehicles for a week in 2021, as demolition work was done on the Hort del Roc terrace to prevent future landslides.[2] €500,000 were spent in 2023, in order to fix a slope that had rocks falling onto the roads.[3]
History
[edit | edit source]The 12th century Romanesque church Església de Sant Romà de les Bons is located within Les Bons.[1] Església de Sant Romà de les Bons and Torre dels Moros have both been submitted to become UNESCO World Heritage Sites.[4] In 1551, Pont lo Vell, a man from Les Bons, was accused of witchcraft.[5]
An 18 month renovation project for the town started in 2024, and is expected to end in 2026. The €2.4 million project would replace all of the pavement in the village, rebuild the supply and water networks, bury telecommunications and electricity lines, and renovate historic locations within the village.[6]
Demographics
[edit | edit source]The population of Les Bons rose from 992 in 2010, to 1,171 in 2024.[7] The English poet James Kirkup was a resident of the village.[8]
Transportation
[edit | edit source]The area has been serviced since 2021 by an on-demand bus service operated by Uclic.[9]
