Exclaustration of the Benedictine monastery

Historical milestone · Sant Cugat del Vallès, Vallès Occidental, Barcelona

Image of Sant Cugat del Vallès, not of the place itself.

The disentailment law of 1835 obliged the Benedictine community to abandon the monastery, which from then on served as parish church, school and even Guardia Civil barracks. In 1931 it was declared a historic monument and its restoration began.
