Explore the medieval roots of Santa Grata de Senterada, where a modern chapel preserves the stones of a historic monastery.

Santa Grata de Senterada, or Santa Maria de Santa Grata, was a pre-Romanesque and Romanesque monastery in the town of Senterada, located in the Pallars Jussà region.

The site is situated on the northern side of the parish church of Santa Maria de Gràcia de Senterada, at the first corner of the small street that begins next to the apse of the parish church and heads up the village.

The chapel in its current state is modern, but rows of stones of a clearly medieval character can be observed on its own walls and other surrounding walls.
