Casserres, 11th century monastic life

Let us guide you along the stretch of the trail that is also called the PR-C40 path, with spectacular views of the Sant Pere de Casseres Monastery, one of the jewels of Catalan Romanesque architecture. Its location is breathtaking, with the edifice crowning the wooded hillock which the river Ter tightly wraps its way around, forming the splendid meander which keeps the river close to the walker at all times.

Sant Pere de Casserres belongs to the Benedictine order and is the only one of its kind in the county of Osona. It is home to the permanent exhibition featuring the life of the monks of Casserres, this is does by recreating some of the original centuries-old rooms that are still standing, and includes an audiovisual that sheds light on the legend, the history and the construction process of the monastery as a whole. Guided tours are also available and there is a café and a restaurant.
