Meritxell (Catalan pronunciation: [məɾiˈtʃeʎ]) is a village in Andorra, located in the parish of Encamp in the north of the country near the French border. Our Lady of Meritxell is the patron saint of Andorra.[2]

In the village is the Basilica of Our Lady of Meritxell, which replaces the original Romanesque style sanctuary burnt down in a fire in 1972. It houses a replica of the Romanesque carving of the Virgin that was also destroyed in the fire.
