Sant Pere de Casserres, Romanesque monastery in Les Masies de Roda, Spain

The monastery features a rectangular design with three naves covered by barrel vaults, supported by double-cruciform pillars and decorated with Lombard-style friezes.

The monastery originated in 1001 when Vescomtessa Ermetruit acquired the land from Count Ramon Borrell of Barcelona to construct a religious complex.

The monastery contains fragments of original wall murals and geometric ornamentations on column capitals, representing medieval artistic expressions.

Visitors can explore the monastery from Wednesday to Sunday between 11:00 AM and 5:30 PM, with guided tours explaining the monastic life.

The monastery stands on a former necropolis above a pronounced bend in the Ter River, marking the transition between the Vic Plain and Guilleries mountains.
