Monastery of St. Paul in the fields

Parroquia Sant Pau Del Camp, Monastery of Sant Pau del Cam, San Pablo del Campo
Spain, Barcelona
Monastery of Saint Paul in the Fields is the oldest monastery in Barcelona. It was built at the beginning of the 10th century in the Romanesque style and belonged to the Benedictines. In those days, it was located outside the city in the fields, which is why it got its name.

The monastery is surrounded by a beautiful garden, the covered gallery is decorated with Moorish-style arches, and the facades are carved images of plants and animals. In the tympanum there is an image of Christ enthroned, surrounded by the apostles Peter and Paul.

The location of this church is reflected in the name - it was erected in the fields outside of Barcelona by the Benedictine monks. In the 10-11 centuries, the church underwent a radical restructuring. The interior of the temple is rather strict and ascetic. In the courtyard, look out for the elegant Moorish-style arched gallery, which is decorated with carvings of various animals. Address: Carrer de Sant Pau, 101. Entrance 3 euros.
