Chapel of the Claustre

THE CHAPEL OF LA MARE DE DÉU DEL CLAUSTRE (OUR LADY OF THE CLOYSTER)-CATHEDRAL OF SOLSONA

Located in the Cathedral of Solsona, the chapel of the Mare de Déu del Claustre (1727-1776), destined to house the prized Romanesque carving, suffered several destructions. Its complex construction, which planned to build an altarpiece and decorate the architectural space with mural paintings, was commissioned to Jacint and Carles Morató— who worked in collaboration with the sculptor Josep Sunyer i Raurell. It disappeared with the accumulation of the heavy damages of 1810, 1822 and 1936, but through some old descriptions, one intuits that it must have been one of the most impressive spaces of Catalan Baroque.
