Monestir de Sant Llorenç de Morunys, Romanesque monastery in Sant Llorenç de Morunys, Spain.

The stone monastery features a basilica layout with three naves, including a main nave with barrel vaulting and side naves with groin vaults.

The monastery's origins trace back to 910 when a religious community led by Abbot Bo established itself, following Visigothic rules at that time.

The monastery houses a baroque altarpiece by Josep Pujol dedicated to Mare de Déu dels Colls, representing a notable example of Catalan baroque art.

Located at 923 meters above sea level, the monastery can be reached via the L-401 road connecting Coll de Nargó and Berga.

The monastery's trapezoidal cloister from the 16th century displays two galleries supported by plain columns, though currently in deteriorated condition.
