ST GENIS DES FONTAINES CLOISTER AND ABBEY
SAINT-GENIS-DES-FONTAINES , Pyrénées-Orientales – Cultural heritage
About
The Benedictine abbey of Saint-Génis-des-Fontaines was built in 780 by Sentimir. Destroyed in the 9th century, it was rebuilt over the following decades. The church follows a Latin cross plan with very pronounced arms. The 12th-century renovation consisted of covering the building with vaults and decorating the façade, into which a lintel, a major work of 11th-century Romanesque sculpture, was integrated around the door. The cloister was built at the very end of the Catalan Romanesque period (late 13th century). Its special feature is the polychrome marble: white from Céret, pink from Villefranche-de-Conflent and black from Baixas. Visual cards available for the very young and a fun card for 6-13 year-olds.
