Sant Pere de les Puelles, Benedictine monastery in Sant Pere district, Barcelona, Spain

The architectural complex exhibits Romanesque elements on the lower floor and Gothic design on the upper level, with an octagonal bell tower containing six bells.

Founded in 901 by Count Sunyer I and his wife Riquilda, the monastery was consecrated in 945 and later reconstructed following an attack by Almanzor's troops in 985.

Located in the Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera neighborhood, the monastery stands near other significant structures like the Palau de la Música Catalana and Santa Caterina Market.

The monastery's cloister features distinct architectural periods, with an 11th-century Romanesque ground floor and a Gothic upper level added in 1322.
