Monasterio de Sant Joan de les Abadesses

In the 12th-century Romanesque church of Sant Joan, the altarpiece—a 13th-century polychrome wood sculpture of the Descent from the Cross—is one of the most expressive and human of that epoch. Wilfred the Hairy gifted this church to his daughter Emma and did the same for his son Radulfo with the Monastery of Santa Maria de Ripoll. (See Sights in the Ripoll section.)
