Caves and potholes in Sant Joan de les Abadesses

Sant Joan de les Abadesses, in the Ripollès, sits on the banks of the Ter river, in a town that grew up around the monastery founded by Count Guifré el Pilós in the 9th century, today one of the most notable Romanesque complexes in the Pyrenees. Its territory, surrounded by Pyrenean foothills, contains limestone relief where the cave catalogue finds its geological context.
