Santa Maria del Vilar, Sala carolíngia del segle VIII

El priorat va estar fundat per una comunitat de canònigs agustins al peu de les Albères. Els monjos varen transformar un edifici de l’época carolíngia en hospital per els peregrins qu’anaven a Santiago de Compostela i van afegir una esglesia i un claustre. Van adornar l’absís de preciosos frescos del segle XI i XII. Els colors així com les escenes i els motius son sorprenents.
Els monjos va ocupar el priorat fins el segle XIV, quan va estar secularitzat. A l’any 1802, els edificis estan venuts per un us agrícol. L’esglesia i la sala hospitalaria esdevenen cuadres . El lloc estarà deixat abandonat i aviat invadit per la vegetació. A l’any 1993, la senyora Triadou compra el lloc i comença les obres de restauració amb un centenar de benèvols. Avui en día, acull un festival líric amb cants profans i religiosos.

The priory will be founded by a community of Augustinian canons at the foot of Les Albères. The monks will transform a building from the Carolingian period into a hospital for the pilgrims who come to Santiago de Compostela, and they will also build a church and a cloister. They will decorate the absinth with beautiful frescos from the 11th and 12th centuries. The colours as well as the scenes and motifs are surprising.
The monks occupied the priory at the end of the 14th century, when it was secularised. In 1802, the buildings were sold for an agricultural use. The church and the hospital room have been converted into stables. The place was left abandoned and was invaded by vegetation. In 1993, Mrs. Triadou bought the place and started the restoration works with about a hundred volunteers. Today, there is a lyric festival with profane and religious songs.
