SAINT-MARTIN DU CANIGOU ABBEY
A grandiose, vertiginous abbey of early Southern Romanesque art, at an altitude of 1098 metres and in the form of two churches
The Abbaye Saint-Martin du Canigou is an emblematic site in Catalonia. Accessible after a hike, the abbey reveals its beauty at every turn. Its arcaded bell tower, marble capitals, abbey church and vaulted crypt make it a jewel of the region's early Romanesque style. Restored in the 20th century, the abbey has been entrusted since 1988 to the Catholic Community of the Beatitudes, which welcomes you for services, masses and retreats. Guided tours of the abbey are also available. A nearby lookout point offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding countryside.

On peut toujours acheter de l'eau ou d'autres boissons au magasin de l'abbaye, mais il y a maintenant aussi plusieurs robinets d'eau potable en libre accès.
