The Monastery of Santa Maria de Ripoll is a Benedictine monastery, built in the Romanesque style, located in the town of Ripoll in Catalonia, Spain. The sculptural church portico is a renowned work of romanesque art.
It was founded by the count Wilfred the Hairy (called Guifré el Pilós in Catalan) in 879, who used it as a centre to repopulate the region after conquering it. The monastery became the family mausoleum for the Catalan counts, and well as a great center of learning, with a large library.
The library and much of the monastery's vast archives were destroyed by fire in 1835. However, the magnificent stone-carvings of the 12th century portal survive, together with the two-storey Romanesque cloister.
