A monastery was a place to live in community. The life of a Benedictine monk in medieval Catalonia was governed by the rule of Saint Benedict, a guideline for all he had to do during the day. They mainly followed the Benedictine monastic “ora et labora”, pray and work. The monasteries were important political, economical and above all cultural centers. This workshop offers the opportunity to enter the monastic life, as well as to enter the world of the Scriptorium, knowing the techniques of medieval writing.

With the construction and the following renovations of the monastery of Sant Cugat were dozens of specialists involved, for example masters of work, stone masons, laborers, painters,… The construction of such a building was a very complex undertaking, that requested high technical knowledge and organization. The structure and ornamentation of the building responds to the needs and the power of the monastic community of Sant Cugat. A visit to the monastery allows you to analyze the characteristics of the medieval architecture. The workshop allows us to direct these elements, lifting medieval buildings.
