Since its origin, the village of Sant Joan de les Abadesses has been a village of culture and very much linked to the Monastery of Sant Joan. The important archive of the monastery, the anthology of troubadour songs, or the important architectonic legacy thus prove it. Important personages were born or have had a relationship with the village which have given it even more relevancy.
