With its ancient walls, Monastir del Camp stands near the village of Passa, in the south of France, in the Pyrénées-Orientales department of the Occitanie region, nestled in the ancient cultural landscape of Roussillon, like a witness to centuries gone by.
Surrounded by orchards stretching to the horizon, Monastir del Camp lends its surroundings a spiritual aura. In spring, nature comes back to life and the immense orchards blossom before the snow-capped peak of Canigou, the sacred mountain of the Catalans. Peaches, apricots and cherries add colourful accents and create a picturesque backdrop around the monastery.
The architecture of Monastir del Camp is a masterpiece of Romanesque art. The sober elegance of the buildings blends perfectly with the natural beauty of the surroundings. The monastery exudes serenity and majesty, while embodying the history and spirituality of the region.
Visitors to Monastir del Camp can linger in the silent presence of the place, soaking up the spiritual atmosphere and letting their gaze wander over the flowering fruit trees that, in spring, transform the countryside into a frenzy of blossom and herald the delicious fruits of summer.
