Monestir de Sant Llorenç del Munt, Romanesque monastery on La Mola mountain in Matadepera, Spain.

The monastery features three naves, a central transept supporting an octagonal dome, and exterior walls constructed with local reddish stone blocks.

The construction of the current monastery structure began in 1045 and received consecration in 1064 by the Bishop and Counts of Barcelona.

The monastery served as a center for Benedictine monastic life from the late 10th century until 1608, representing early Catalan religious architecture.

The site requires a mountain hike to access and offers guided tours through the Parc Natural de Sant Llorenç del Munt i l'Obac.

From its elevation at the summit, visitors can see the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees mountains on clear days.
