After playing with the javelins for a bit we developed a game that allowed us to train and measure our success.
BYFA Javelin Game Rules
Set a line which shall not be crossed when throwing the javelin.
Place a target you can pierce some arbitrary distance away from the throwing line. (In our case we used a plastic basket like the kind you purchase strawberries in at the grocery store.)
2 points – The javelin pierces the target
1 point – The javelin sticks in the earth close to the target. In this case “close” is measured by marking the impact hole with your finger and then using the steel head of the javelin as a measure. Place the point of the javelin on the target to measure a fixed distance with the steel head. If the impact hole is within the measure of the steel head, you receive 1 point.
The first thrower to reach 10 points is the winner.
Assigning points with the Javelin
Notes
Vary the size of the target to change the difficulty. (For example, a hay bale is much easier to hit than a 4″x4″ strawberry basket.)
As you become accurate at short distances, move the target further away.
You can assign more experienced throwers a handicap.
Javelin Pool
With three different colored targets, you could play a game similar to shooting pool.
Place a Black target (8-ball) in the center of the playing field.
Take turns tossing Red and Blue targets onto the field.
The first person to strike a target chooses Red or Blue.
Taking turns, try to strike all of your color targets.
If you strike one of your targets, remove it and continue throwing until you miss a target.
If you strike the Black target while you still have your own colored targets on the field, you loose.
When all your targets have been removed, strike the Black target to win.
Notes
If you number the targets, you can try to strike them in numerical order
Other Options
With a large upright target, you could play a decent game of darts.
With an upright man-shaped target, you can designate the body into Right Arm, Left Arm, Head/Torso, Right Leg, and Left Leg. As you play against your opponent, any strikes to the extremities disable that body part on your opponent. Strikes to the torso immediately eliminate the adversary. (This game could be played in teams.)
With a course of targets you could play javelin golf and count throws.
The oldest church in Andorra is Santa Coloma and it was built somewhere in the 9th or 10th century.

The tower is reportedly an addition from the 12th century.

The church actually has a stone roof as you can see here.

Unfortunately photographs were not permitted inside as it is still used as a church today.
The church was looted during World War 2 and the frescoes were chiseled from the walls and taken by the Nazis. Fortunately, a large wood-carved shrine was pressed against the wall at the front of the church. When it was moved later, a hidden sanctuary was behind the shrine and some of the frescoes were preserved where it rested against the wall.
I have found an image on the Internet of the church interior here:
