Discover the treasure shared by the two cloisters of Girona and Sant Cugat and the sculptural details that make them unique. Some guided tours to learn about the Romanesque and the work of the master Arnau Cadell.
In Girona, you visit the cloister of the Cathedral and in Sant Cugat the Cloister of the Monastery, twinned because they share a father: the teacher Arnau Cadell. He is the first Catalan artist known by name and the surname; he portrayed himself on a capital in the eastern gallery of the cloister of Sant Cugat del Vallès cutting a Corinthian capital, along with an inscription in which he recorded the authorship of the cloister.
A getaway where you will discover the historic city of Girona, more than 2.000 years old. With the help of local hosts, you will discover its medieval part and its architecture, such as the ancient Monastery of San Pere de Galligants, the Imperial Cathedral with its 122 capitals created by Arnau Cadell or the traditional Arab Baths. Also, you will enjoy wonderful views climbing its walls.
In Sant Cugat del Vallès, you will enter its majestic Monastery with its 144 capitals, also works by the master Arnau Cadell. You can relax in the Sierra de Collserola Natural Park following the Sant Jaume path and walk through the magical green spaces of the city.
