Sant Pere de Graudescales

The Sant Pere de Graudescales monastery stands at 826 meters elevation, featuring three semi-circular apses and a floor plan shaped like a Greek cross.

The monastery, consecrated in 913 by the Bishop of Urgell, remained active until 1837 when it was abandoned and fell into a state of deterioration.

The monastery represents Lombard Romanesque architecture and maintains its status as a Cultural Asset of National Interest within the Spanish heritage framework.

Visitors can observe the interior through a large window near the entrance, as the building remains closed to public access throughout the year.

The site connects to a 13.4-kilometer circular hiking route that includes the metal-stepped Escala de Busa passage through the mountainous terrain.
