Monastery of Sant Daniel
Monastery of Sant Daniel, Romanesque monastery in Sant Daniel Valley, Girona, Spain.
The two-story cloister features Romanesque decorations on the lower level from the 13th century and Gothic elements on the upper level from the 15th century.
Countess Ermessenda of Carcassonne and Count Ramon Borrell founded this Benedictine monastery between 1015 and 1018, establishing a religious center in Girona.
The monastery maintains an active Benedictine community of nuns dedicated to prayer, work, training, meditation, and extending hospitality to visitors.
The cloister opens for visits on Thursday mornings, while guided tours of the church, old kitchen, and cellar occur on the first Saturday of each month.
The monastery houses the sepulchre of Saint Daniel, completed in 1345 by sculptor Aloi de Montbrai, containing remains believed to be from Saint Daniel of Arles.
