Sant Pere de Camprodon
Sant Pere de Camprodon, Romanesque monastery and church in Camprodon, Spain.
Description
Sant Pere de Camprodon is a Romanesque monastery and church featuring a Latin cross plan with four square apses and a central dome. The bell tower rises above with two stories capped by an octagonal lantern.
History
The monastery was founded in 901 and operated as a Benedictine establishment until 1932. At that time, deteriorating structures were demolished while the church was preserved.
