Monestir de Sant Llorenç

The former Monastery of Sant Llorenç near Bagà is one of the most important monastic complexes in the Berguedà region. Its magnificent church is particularly noteworthy for its gallery overlooking the central nave and the beautiful crypt-like space located directly beneath it.

On the southern side, several medieval monastic buildings have been preserved, including part of the cloister and the former hospital hall.

The earliest written records of the monastery date back to 898, while the church was consecrated in 983. The complex was built between the 10th and 12th centuries, but it suffered a major partial collapse as a result of the earthquake of 1428. The Benedictine monastic community remained there until the beginning of the 17th century, when the monastery was converted into a priory.
