How about a long weekend in #Ripoll? The next two minutes will convince you immediately!

Santa Maria de Ripoll is one of the most beautiful Romanesque buildings in #Catalonia. It has three main points to visit: The Romanesque gate, the basilica, and the cloister.

The main feature of the monastery is its Romanesque front façade dating from the 12th century, which is divided into seven horizontal strips.

The Benedictine monastery was founded by Count Wilfred "The Hairy" in the 9th century. It soon became a major cultural center during the High Middle Ages, which is why it continued to be extended up until the 12th century when it ended up more or less as it looks today.

The center has an interactive exhibition that explains the historical, cultural, and religious relevance of this cradle of Catalonia.

And don’t forget to look for the cloister and wandering around, unforgettable experience!

The Centre of Ripoll is a bunch of nice streets with old buildings, hidden squares, some terraces, and shops.

Not to mention the Ruta del Ferro, the green path on which you can easily bike around Ripoll and its surrounding villages or use your electric scooter.
