Discover Passa: Romanesque heritage and winegrowing
Accommodation in Passa
Passa lies in the transition zone between the last foothills of the mountains and the Roussillon plain. The small Passa River crosses the village, then flows past the Monastir del Camp before joining the RĂ©art. Most of the agricultural land in Passa is planted with vines. The landscape, river, and winegrowing give your stay a tangible local setting.
Church and priory: different eras
The former parish church of Passa is Romanesque in style and dedicated to Saint Peter. Its furnishings include several Baroque altarpieces, a holy water font, and two painted panels from the 16th century. The former church also has furnishings dating from the 18th century. The Monastir del Camp priory is a former Cistercian monastery from the 11th century; its construction history also extends into the 13th century. It has been protected as a historic monument since 1862 and is arranged around a Gothic cloister. The parish church’s Romanesque style and varied furnishings thus stand alongside the priory’s history of construction across multiple periods.
Saint-Luc: views and a walk
The Saint-Luc hermitage stands on Puig Rodon at an elevation of 204 metres and is a pilgrimage site. From there, it offers remarkable views across the Roussillon plain. A walk around the priory leads to the hermitage, connecting the Monastir del Camp with a place defined by its views and religious significance. Check local trail conditions before setting out.
