Discover Ripoll and you’ll experience the origins of Catalonia! Discover the history of what is said to be the cradle of Catalonia by visiting the atmospheric Monastery of Santa Maria de Ripoll. Get a close up of one of our most beautiful and emblematic buildings. The arched doorway is candidate to being declared a world heritage site for the Unesco, the basilica and the cloisters are both a unique example of their kind. Close by you’ll find the village of Sant Joan de les Abadesses, huddled around the ruins of its monastery, well-worth a visit as it has treasured its medieval past by restoring many of the ancient buildings, streets, and walls and even retains their medieval names.
