Francesc Garcia - MONTFRANC

November 21, 2022

Hiking

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 .

Monastery that shapes what this valley is and at the same time a neighborhood, called the Barri de Sant Daniel.
Inside, a group of nuns who have run the Monastery since the 11th century still live there, Benedictine nuns. The space and location is idyllic despite being two minutes from the city center.
