l'Estany

The former lake basin on the Moianès plateau defines the setting of l’Estany — drainage works and open pastureland have long shaped this compact settlement in inland Catalonia. At its centre stands the former Augustinian monastery of Santa Maria de l’Estany, founded in the 11th century and among the region’s important Romanesque ensembles. Its 12th-century cloister is especially known for carved capitals depicting biblical narratives and scenes of medieval life. Quiet streets and surrounding fields give the village a markedly different rhythm from Catalonia’s Mediterranean coast.
