The Convent of Saint Clare

This is a medieval convent which was occupied by a community of Poor Clare Sisters. It was a place which Ignatius would pass by on his way to Viladordis. According to tradition, he would sit on the stone steps of the Romanesque entrance to listen to the nuns sing. Cloistered Dominican nuns lived there from the seventeenth century. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Manresan architect Alexandre Soler i March designed a new structure for the western façade in a modernist style.
