Sant Pau del Camp () (Catalan for "Saint Paul of the countryside" or "in the fields") is a church and former monastery in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. While the monastery now stands within the El Raval district in central Barcelona, it once stood outside the city (before 14th century); its rural location gave the church its name. ==History== There are no sources about the monastery's origins, it is generally thought that it was founded by count Wilfred II of Barcelona, whose funerary inscription was found within the monastery in 1596.〔''A Privilege of Pope Alexander III for Sant Pau Del Camp (Barcelona)'', Paul Freedman, Archivum Historiae Pontificiae, Vol. 31 (1993), 257.〕 The monastery is documented from 977; in 985 it was sacked and destroyed by the Muslim troops of al-Mansur Ibn Abi Aamir.〔''A Privilege of Pope Alexander III for Sant Pau Del Camp (Barcelona)'', Paul Freedman, 255-256. 〕 Restorations were begun in 1096, through donations from Geribert Guitard and Rotlendis,〔 and a new monastic community arrived. In 1117, Sant Pau became a priory of the monastery of Sant Cugat.〔Calvin B. Kendall, ''The Allegory of the Church: Romanesque Portals and Their Verse Inscriptions'', (University of Toronto Press, 1998), 119.〕 By the 13th, a new cloister, church and monastic quarters were built.〔 In 1377, the monastery consisted of a prior and eight monks, which declined in the 15th century to consist of three monks.〔 An initial monastic meeting for the Terragona province occurred in 1577 and such meetings would continue from 1594 to 1835.〔 The monks were removed upon the secularization of monasteries by the Spanish government in 1835.〔 It was declared National Monument in 1879. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sant Pau del Camp」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
