Cloister of St Candidatura of Cuxa

With an interesting history, the cloister of the Abbey of St Michel de Cuxa deserves a corner on its own. Built in a purely Romanesque style, its preserved part was rescued from destruction by American art collectors who were unscrupulous until the population of the town confronted them and were able to save the rest of this wonderful structure. Those who visit New York can see a good part of the cloister at the Museum "The Cloistres". Thanks to the figure of the Catalan architect Puig, today we can enjoy this amazing place, it is one of the most beautiful cloisters I have seen to date. Its bright pink marble gleams and its layout is exquisite, reminiscent of the East.
