The sanctuary of Sant Pere del Bosc is a complex with over a thousand years of history. Its origins as a Benedictine monastery date back to 986, following an attack on the convent of Blanes. It was then that what we now know as Sant Pere del Bosc was formed, although at that time it was christened Sant Pere Salou, a cluster of buildings around a chapel.
Throughout its history, it has suffered numerous attacks, from the French War to the Spanish Civil War, until Nicolau Font acquired the estate and dedicated himself body and soul to restoring it, with the help of prominent figures in the applied arts such as the architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch, the sculptor Eusebi Arnau, the painter and decorator Enric Monserdà, among others. Furthermore, it was at this time that a kind of spiritual and artistic path was created between Lloret and the sanctuary, erecting important monuments such as the boundary crosses, the Pedró of Our Lady of Gràcia or the monument popularly known as the Angel.
Today, Sant Pere del Bosc, which remains in the hands of Nicolau Font’s descendants, is home to a restaurant and a hotel, opened in 1981 and 2011 respectively. As it is a private property, you can only visit by using its services.
