Monastery of Sant Pere
Monastery located in the historic center of the town. Currently, the only remaining from the monastery is a church of great historical interest.
Sant Pere de Besalú was founded in 977 by the count of Besalú and bishop of Girona Bonfill Miró, who put it under the direct patronage of the Holy See and managed the transfer of the relics of saints Prim and Felicià d’Agen, who will join the Concordi, Patró and Marí ones.
The present temple corresponds to a 1060 rebuilding although its maximum expansion was during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, when it became part of the county of Barcelona, when he was the subject of a reform.
Sant Pere de Besalú is less than 5 minutes walk from our apartments.
