Monestir de Sant Joan les Fonts

TIME : 2016/2/19 1:41:34

This riverside monastery is tucked away at the northern end of Sant Joan les Fonts, 9km north of Olot. The church, with its distinctive bulge and stone belltower, dates to the 12th century. While opening hours to this imposing building are limited, its broad Romanesque form makes for a pleasant view if you want to pause between Olot and the dramatic cliffs of Castellfollit de la Roca.
