Sant Pere de Camprodon

The monastery features a Latin cross layout with four square apses and a central dome topped by a two-story bell tower with an octagonal lantern.

Founded in 901, the monastery functioned as a Benedictine establishment until 1932, when its deteriorating structures were demolished, preserving only the church building.

The preserved church contains numerous abbots' tombs, while the diocesan museum of Girona displays several original capitals from the former cloister.

The monastery church remains an active religious site, offering regular services and welcoming visitors interested in exploring its architectural and historical elements.

The main apse matches the exact width of the nave and opens to both sides of the transept, creating an exceptional spatial arrangement in Romanesque architecture.
