The Romanesque represents one of the greatest moments of the history of Catalan art both because of the crucial importance of some monuments, internationally recognized, and also because of the fact that in the history and in the imaginary of Catalonia it has almost mystical connotations associated with the political and national origins of the county. The concepts of Catalonia and Catalan became popular during the 11th and 12th centuries, when the first Catalan writings began to be produced. As for art, these centuries constitute the so-called Romanesque.
