The Roman Catholic Church in Andorra is part of the worldwide Roman Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope in Rome.

There are over 60,000 Catholics in Andorra, over 90% of the total population, and the country forms part of the Spanish Diocese of Urgell, whose bishop is also one of the country's Co-Princes.

The small church of Santa Maria del Fener is located on Carrer Sant Salvador. This very simple building does not have the usual church architecture. There is a statue of Santa Maria del Fener on the outside wall of the church and a large relief sculpture representing Jesus Christ and his 12 apostles inside the church behind the autel.

When we visited this church on a week day late afternoon, a priest was celebrating Mass for just a few people.

I could not find any historical information about this church.
