Monastery of Sant Daniel

Highlight • Religious Site

According to tradition, Saint Daniel, an Armenian hermit monk, died beheaded in Arles de Provence in 888, during the Arab rule. His followers will take his body south to prevent it from being desecrated. Arriving near Girona, they buried him in the solitude of what was then called Vall Tenebrosa where veneration of his remains soon began and a small church was built there and Sant Daniel soon became the parish of the few inhabitants that the valley had .

A Roman ara and some other remains from the same period that the monastery preserves give rise to the idea that this church was built on the ruins of an ancient pagan temple.

It is offered to discover the Monastery of Sant Daniel on guided tours: the church, the cloister, the old cellar, the stove,... these are spaces that serve as a starting point for us to talk about monastic life, history and the art of the first thousand years of the monastery.
The visits are aimed at the general public, but we also offer specific visits for educational centers.
You can consult the scheduled visits and make a reservation for your visit by clicking on the following link: santdaniel.com/ca/visites
