Cova de Santa Agnès

Parc Natural de Sant Llorenç del Munt i l'Obac, Catalonia, Spain

It is one of the architectural vestiges in the Sant Llorenç del Munt park that nowadays lasts. It is in the Santa Agnès Channel on the north side of La Mola about 900 meters above sea level. In a past it was a convent of religious women although little is known about the congregation to which they belonged. As a highlight, we find some ponds in the interior of the cave that could have served as showers of the time, and its chapel of Romanesque style. This chapel, as we say Romanesque, was rebuilt in the Gothic age in the form of a small pointed vaulted vault which, in the part of the head, flows into the living rock, leaving an excavated space where there was an altar . The existence of the Hermitage is documented fromCentury XIV and it is known that ceremonies were realized until entered century XVIII .
