Day 583 - 19/05/2015 : St Pere de Casserres, the Cloister

Let's continue with our tour on St. Pere de Casserres Monastery. The tiny cloister was destroyed in the well documented earthquakes in Osona and Garrotxa area during the 15th Century.

It has recently been rebuilt, with one part of the cloister restored in Romanesque style and the other just as the monks rebuilt it following the earthquakes.

In the center of the cloister there is a large water tank carved directly out of the rock, which collects all the rainwater.

Enjoy your visit !
