Monastery of Sant Cugat
Monastery of Sant Cugat, Benedictine monastery in Sant Cugat del Vallès, Spain.
The monastery features a square cloister with 144 sculpted capitals depicting religious scenes and medieval imagery, supported by paired columns.
Founded in the ninth century, the monastery complex incorporated a fifth-century church containing the remains of Saint Cucuphas and a defensive fortification.
The monastery's Gothic church includes a large rose window and houses the retaule de Tots els Sants, a Gothic altarpiece created in 1375.
Visitors can explore the monastery with audio guides in multiple languages, available at the Tourism Office or through mobile applications.
The cloister bears the signature of its medieval architect, Arnau Cadell, inscribed on one of the capitals depicting him at work.
