Sant Benet de Bages, Romanesque monastery in Sant Fruitós de Bages, Spain.
The monastery features a single-nave church with a semicircular central apse and a cloister decorated with 64 sculptured capitals displaying biblical scenes.
Founded in 960 by nobles Sal·la and Ricardis, the monastery received papal protection and housed Saint Valentine's relics from 965 until their transfer in 1863.
The monastery complex represents multiple architectural periods, including pre-Romanesque origins, a 12th-century Romanesque church, and Gothic additions from the 14th century.
The Catalunya La Pedrera Foundation currently manages the monastery, offering guided tours through both medieval and modernist sections alongside educational facilities.
The monastery's transformation included a period as the summer residence of painter Ramon Casas's family, who commissioned architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch for its restoration.
