Monestir de Sant Pere

view map

Beautiful! This is the kind of architecture that I prefer: pure Romanesque style, simple lines and light and stone being almost the only decoration inside. Sant Pere is a medieval benedictine monastery founded in 977 by Count Miró of Besalú. The current church, the only part of the big ensemble that survived, is from the XIIth century. The structure consists in three barrel-vaulted naves divided by cross shaped pillars and a transept. The church ends with a single apse with an original ambulatory

Very nice view, handling the verticals just right. Agree, simple is good and honest.

Superb composition: with all those strong lines leading your eye to the tower....
