Monastery of Santa Maria de l’Estany

Romanesque monastery of Santa Maria de l'Estany

The Romanesque cloister

The Romanesque cloister of the monastery of Santa Maria de l’Estany is one of the most important in Catalonia.
The north wing of the cloister, begun in mid-century XII is the most primitive. In the capitals, it represents Christ’s life from birth to Calvary, and other allegorical to the redemption of mankind. Note are the capitals of the Flight into Egypt, the Holy Supper and the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem.
In the west wing of the cloister, especially in the interior, capitals are decorated with themes of beasts and flora as well as geometric figures and heraldry. It is worth mentioning the capital with winged animals.
