Cloister of the old convent of Sant Domènec in Peralada

The rich past of the town of Peralada is evident in every corner: its significant architectural heritage includes the cloister of the ancient convent of Sant Domènec, dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries. This place of great beauty houses columns and capitals depicting powerfully expressive biblical scenes and scenes from daily life in the mediaeval period. It is one of the key elements of the Museu de la Vila (Town Museum), located in the Sant Domènec Cultural Tourism Centre, a facility where visitors can discover the history of Peralada up to mediaeval times.
