Santa Maria del Collet

Santa Maria del Collet stands on a hilltop in Calonge plain, featuring traditional Romanesque architecture with local stone construction and Gothic elements.

The church, first documented in 1238, developed from a Roman settlement into a Benedictine monastery, marking centuries of religious presence in the region.

This religious center operated under the guidance of a prioress, focusing on prayer, work activities, and providing shelter to traveling pilgrims.

The municipality of Calonge plans to restore the property and transform it into an interpretation center for the Roman ruins of Collet.

Throughout its existence, the monastery faced various challenges including pirate raids, plagues, and floods, yet maintained its religious function.
