Sunrise at Sant Pere de Casserres (Catalonia)

I was willing to visit this place since I saw a photograph featuring this landscape. Looking at what I thought to be a little church surrounded by water, I fell in love with the views.

However, It was not a little hermitage! Instead, what you can see at the top of the hill is Sant Pere de Casserres, a prominent Benedictine Monastery from the 11th century ⛪️ .

The monastery is a Romanesque-style building located in Les Masies de Roda, the only one in Osona, and also one of the most relevant Romanic architectural ensembles in Catalonia. Best of all? it is not far from Barcelona; easy to get there by car in an hour or so. It was a pleasant surprise to find out how close it is from my home.
