The Iglesia de Sant Martí de la Cortinada Church is located in the village of La Cortinada, in the parish of Ordino, Andorra.

The Iglesia de Sant Martí de la Cortinada Church, Romanesque in origin, dates back to the 12th century and underwent several expansions during the 17th and 18th centuries. It still preserves wall paintings from the end of the 12th century.
In the Baroque period the church was enlarged, changing the orientation of the nave and building a new major altar. This altar was adorned with a polychromed wooden reredo from the 17th century dedicated to Saint Martí, the patron saint of the church.
On its lateral chapels you’ll also find various Baroque reredos dedicated to Mare de Déu, Sant Antoni Abat,and Mare de Déu del Roser.
Its wrought iron bars are a good example of the iron industry in the valley. The church's wooden furniture dates back to the 17th century.
In the vicinity of the church you will find several buildings of civil architecture, such as La Muela, Serrería de Cal Pal, or the Casa Solariega de Cal Pal and its unusual tenement houses.
