Description
Abbaye Saint-Martin du Canigou
The abbey of Saint-Martin-du-Canigou is a monastery built in 1009 in the Pyrenees on Canigou mountain.
The original Romanesque style monastery was built from 1005 to 1009 by Guifred, Count of Cerdanya , possibly for forgiveness of his sins for the murder of his nephew.
This abbey was populated by Benedictine monks.
