Santa Cecília de Montserrat

The monastery was founded by its first abbot, Cesari, who was sponsored by Sunyer, Count of Barcelona and his wife Riquilda de Tolosa.

After the death of Cesari, the Abbot Oliva tried to annex the monastery, but met with opposition from the monks of the community.

In the 15th century, it began to decline and in 1539, it was attached to Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey.

Until in 1940, it served a community of Benedictine nuns; it was associated with the monastery of Sant Pere de les Puelles.

In 1954 the nuns moved to a new monastery, Sant Benet, and since then the building has operated as a refuge for hikers and as a meeting center.
