Sant Pere de Galligants
Sant Pere de Galligants, Romanesque monastery and church in Girona, Spain
Sant Pere de Galligants features an eight-sided bell tower with Lombard decorations and a chancel with four apses of different sizes.
The monastery, established in 992 by Ramon Borrell, Count of Barcelona, operated until 1835 when its population decreased to one abbot and four monks.
The capitals in the main nave display intricate sculptural work, which scholars attribute to either the Master of Cabestany or the School of Toulouse.
The monastery functions as the Museum of Archaeology of Catalonia in Girona, exhibiting artifacts from prehistoric times through the Middle Ages.
The monastery's cloister columns contain detailed capital motifs depicting scenes from Christ's life alongside representations of lions and sirens.
