the festival

Ibercamera, Associació Amics de Cervià Antic and the National Center for Music Diffusion are promoting the 16th edition of the Santa Maria de Cervià de Ter's church Music Festival, continuing the desire to endow this true Romanesque gem with musical soul.

We are celebrating our 16th edition following the two themes that have shaped our history: the promotion of local talent with the recital of pianist Daniel Bertomeu, soprano Elionor Martínez and Helix Trio, and the visit of international stars with a recital by cellist Luka Coetzee.

Outside the old quarter we find the Benedictine priory of Santa Maria, the oldest architectural monument in Cervià de Ter. The monastery, which was founded in 1053 by the lords of Cervià (Silvi Llobet and Adelaida), preserves the Romanesque church (11th Century) and a good part of the outbuildings, located around the cloister.

The church, which was restored in 1993, has three naves with a transept and three semicircular apses without ornamentation on the outside. The cloister has a square floor plan and smooth columns, some from the medieval period and others from Romanesque, as can be seen by observing the types of stone.

Amics de Cervià Antic is a cultural association created in 2011 with the aim of promoting knowledge, recovery and dissemination of the historical and cultural heritage of Cervià de Ter.
