MONASTERY OF SANT SALVADOR

MONASTERY OF SANT SALVADOR
9th Century

Today’s parish church used to be the church of the Monastery of Sant Salvador de Breda. It has an impressive Lombard bell tower that formed part of the original 11th Century monastery building, which is 32 metres tall. Dating back to the 14th-16th Centuries, the Gothic church was part of a redevelopment project overseen by Abbot Gispert de Jàfer (1296-1337). The church is formed by a single, extremely spacious nave.
