Canònica de Santa Maria de Vilabertran

Figueres


In Vilabertran, 2.5km northeast of central Figueres, you'll find a serene 11th-century Romanesque church with three naves, a Lombard bell tower, and an elegant cloister.

This is the setting for an annual cycle of classical Schubert music, held in August (www.schubertiadavilabertran.cat).
