The Monastery of Sant Joan de les Abadesses is a monastery in the comarca of Ripollès. Until the year 945 it was the only female monastery in the area. The monastery was founded in 885 by count Wilfred the Hairy, who destined it to the education of his wife Emma, who later became the first abbess. The current church building date to the 12th century. In 1428 an earthquake destroyed the dome and the bell tower, and damaged the church, which was largely restored.
