Girona Monastery
Monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants is a benedictine
monastery, which dates from the 11-12the centuries. Nowadays,
it is housing the Archeological Museum.
The most important monumental merit of the temple and the remarkable
iconographic interest of the cloister make the complex one of
the most noteworthy examples of Catalonian Romanesque architecture.
The aspe and the belfry are integrated within the walled enclosure
of the city which is still partly preserved. The museum contains
an important collection of prehistoric objects together with others
from Greek and Roman periods, as well as a unique collection of
Hebrew tombstones.
