    The Benedictine monastery of Sant Benet de Bages, located in the municipality of Sant Fruitós de Bages, is one of Catalonia’s best-preserved medieval monastery complexes. Founded in 960 by the nobles Sal·la i Ricardis, it was consecrated in 972 with a first pre-Romanesque church that, in the 12th century, was replaced by the current Romanesque church, and a small cloister, made up of 64 capitals, all of them sculpted and that are still standing today. A large new Gothic cellar was built in the 14th century.
