Ripoll area
The capital of Ripollès is an active market and service centre. The traditional shops are between Anselm Clavé and Dama squares, in a busy pedestrian street. Although it is home to much modernist architecture, Ripoll owes its fame to the large Benedictine monastery of Santa Maria founded in the 9C which, until the 12C, was a necropolis for the counts of Barcelona, Besalú and Cerdagne. The library was one of the largest in Christendom.
