Sant Esteve de Banyoles, Benedictine monastery in Banyoles, Spain
The monastery consists of several buildings with a triple-apse church, Gothic entrance, and Neoclassical structures spread across the complex grounds.
Founded before 812, the monastery experienced multiple reconstructions due to Saracen attacks, earthquakes in 1427-1428, and damage to its bell tower in 1655.
The monastery houses the Arqueta de Sant Martirià, a Gothic casket containing the remains of Banyoles' patron saint from the 15th century.
The monastery operates under the Roman Catholic Diocese of Girona and maintains regular visiting hours for those interested in exploring its architectural features.
During the 2003 cloister restoration, workers discovered original 11th-century Romanesque capitals decorated with late Gothic period paintings.
