Monastery of Santa Maria de Gerri

The Monastery of Santa Maria de Gerri is a Benedictine abbey at Gerri de la Sal in the Noguera Pallaresa valley of the Catalan Pyrenees. Founded in the early 9th century, it became one of the leading religious houses of the county of Pallars, and its abbots held lordship over the salt-making village beside it. Its large Romanesque church dates from the 12th century.
