Building work was instigated in 1007AD by Guilfred, count of Cerdagne. Seriously damaged by an earthquake in 1428, it was rebuilt five years later. But the worship of saint Martin gradually fell away and was dropped after the departure of the last monks in the XVIIIth century, leaving pillagers and smugglers to take the furnishings and capitals. Monks returned to the abbey in 1988, and have welcomed believers and tourists ever since. * The history of Saint-Michel-de-Cuxa begins with a flood… In 878 AD, the religious community from Eixalada monastery was forced to take refuge at Cuxa, under the protection of the counts of Cerdagne, following a dramatic rise in the waters of the Têt. Sixty monks set up a communication network which offered the abbey unique influence throughout Europe. During the Revolution, most of the building was destroyed and the abbey abandoned until 1950. It owes its new life to cellist Pablo Casals, a refugee in France after fleeing from Franco's dictatorship. After years of silence, he gave his first public concerts in the church.
