The Church of Sant Corneli i Sant Cebrià is located in the heart of the village of Ordino and serves as a vital religious landmark. While its origins date back to the 11th and 12th centuries, the building underwent significant renovations between the 17th and 19th centuries. The interior is notably rich, housing five Baroque altarpieces from the 17th and 18th centuries that showcase intricate craftsmanship. The church is also famous for its artistic wrought-iron grilles, produced in the local ironworks of Ordino, highlighting the parish's historical connection to the iron industry. Among its treasures is the late 11th-century statue of Our Lady of Remedies (Mare de Déu del Remei), one of the oldest in the country. This site beautifully blends Romanesque foundations with later architectural enhancements.
