Former Benedictine abbey in the historic center of Girona. Since 1857 it has been the headquarters in Girona of the Archeology Museum of Catalonia.
The first documents date this monastery from the end of the 12th century and it has been recognized as an Asset of Cultural Interest since 1931.

The exhibition rooms of the Museum of Archeology of Catalonia in Girona are located in the spaces of the monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants.

The monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants, of which only the church and the cloister remain visible, is one of the most remarkable examples of Catalan Romanesque. The date of its foundation is not known, but it already existed in the first half of the s. X. Almost nothing remains of the pre-Romanesque monastery, although remains of an earlier building are preserved. The construction of the current building began in the first half of the 12th century, around 1131, when Ramon Berenguer the Gran bequeathed a large donation to pay for the works. At the end of this century, the cloister had to be finished.
