Monasterio de Nuestra Señora de la Gloria

The monastery features an octagonal cupola above the nave, with eleven archivolts extending from the Chrismon-decorated tympanum on its southern facade.

Countess Oria de Pallars established this religious complex in 1173, receiving support from her husband Arnau Mir and Bishop Esteve de Sant Martí.

The church portal, constructed around 1200, displays intricate Romanesque craftsmanship through its detailed stone carvings and architectural elements.

The monastery spans 10,000 square meters and contains multiple halls, including a chapter house with 14th-century tomb reliefs on the floor.

The site maintained continuous religious activity for over 800 years until 2004, experiencing only two brief closures during the 1868 revolution and 1936 war.
