El monestir romanic de Sant Miquel de Fluvià no és molt conegut, però força interessant. Fou fundat el 1045, tot i que la església data del 1066. Era una dependencia de St. Miquel de Cuixà, i cap al s. XVII, a St. Pere de Galligans. Continuà com a monestir fins el 1835.

S'en conserva la magnifica església i campanar romanics, fortificats molt després, al s. XV. Com a part de la fortificació, s'excavà un fossat entorn l'església, esbentrant el claustre romanic pel bell mig.

===================

The Romanesque monastery of Sant Miquel de Fluvià is not very well known, but quite interesting. It was founded in 1045, although the church dates from 1066. It was a dependency of St. Miquel de Cuixà abbey, and towards the s. XVII, of St. Peter of Galligans abbey. It continued as a monastery until 1835.

The magnificent Romanesque church and bell tower are the main remains of the abbey, fortified much later, in the XV Century. As part of the fortification, a moat was dug around the church, splitting and destroying the Romanesque cloister. Currently, both the cloister and its destructive moat have been excavated and partially restored.
