Sant Pau del Camp, Romanesque monastery in El Raval, Spain.

The monastery contains a cross-shaped church with three apses and thick stone walls, exhibiting traditional Lombard Romanesque architectural elements throughout the structure.

Founded in the 9th century, the monastery endured attacks in 985 by Almanzor's troops, leading to its destruction before reconstruction began in 1096.

The cloister capitals display detailed carvings of religious scenes, including representations of Adam and Eve with the serpent and geometric patterns.

The monastery welcomes visitors from Monday through Saturday between 10 AM and 6 PM, with guided tours scheduled every Sunday at 12:45 PM.

The monastery houses the burial slab of Count Guifré II Borrell from 911, making it one of Barcelona's earliest remaining religious structures.
