About

While spending time in the tiny country of Andorra, you might as well embrace the small and spend some time looking at even littler versions of this small country’s architectural highlights, such as cat-sized versions of imposing churches.

Most of the models were made by Josep Colomé, a painter and model maker who passed away in 1995. His son, Josep Colomé, continues his father's work. The models made from wood and stone attempt to be as accurate to life as possible.
