Sant Salvador de Breda, Romanesque monastery and Gothic church in Breda, Catalonia, Spain

The monastery complex features a 32-meter rectangular bell tower with windows on its upper four levels and a Gothic-style church structure.

The Benedictine monastery was founded on June 4, 1038, by Guerau de Cabrera and Ermessenda, the Viscounts of Girona and lords of Breda.

The monastery holds significance as a Cultural Asset of Catalonia, with its Gothic abbey house displaying large patio windows and stone arches.

The former monastery now functions as a parish church, while the adjacent Santa Maria church serves as a municipal museum for local exhibitions.

The bell tower, constructed between the 11th and 12th centuries, remains the most preserved element of the original Romanesque architecture.
