    Hiking

    Former Benedictine monastery located in the municipality of Breda, in the Selva region, at the foot of the Montseny Natural Park. Along with the rest of the old town, they are listed as a Historic Artistic Monument in 1974.

    Little of the original construction remains. The bell tower, built in the 11th century, is the best preserved building. It consists of a slender 32-meter tower with a rectangular floor plan.

    The church and the Romanesque bell tower (11th century) together with a wing of the cloister and the abbey courtyard, are all that remains standing of the Benedictine Monastery of Sant Salvador de Breda, which was ordered to be built by the Viscount of Cabrera in 1038.
