Depuis le Concors(781m) près de Jouques et Peyrolles-en-Provence le Canigou(2784m) à 283 km de distance est nettement visible,à droite du massif du Canigou la Tour d'Eyne(2850m) à 310 km ,le Redoun(2678m) à 304 km et le Gallinas(2624m) à 303km.On remarque le radar de Vitrolles à un peu à droite du centre,la Tour de César(427m) en bas à gauche.Un spectacle inoubliable.
Le Canigou vu des hauteurs au dessus de Saint-Estève-Janson ,précisément du Point 475 m,Le Canigou est à 270,5 km de distance,vision toujours aussi magique.
Photo retouchée avec Gimp car ce 10 Novembre 2014 seule une petite partie du Canigou fût visible à cause de nuages.Le Canigou est à 271,9 km de distance.Le radar de Vitrolles à 21,5km de distance(la boule noire).Le Soleil vient de se coucher sur la droite.
An oratorium here is recorded already in 996. Count Guifred Cabreta, grandson of Wilfred the Hairy (a person I was interested in since ages. We will "meet" him later) donated land and funds for the erection of a monastery in atonement for the murder of his own son.
The abbey was built around the older oratorium and already 1009 a church was consecrated and dedicated to Saint Martin by the Bishop of Elne, who was Count GuifredŽs brother. In the document a monk named Sclua is mentioned as the builder. Sclua may have been, what was later called an architect.
In 1012 the relics of Saint Gauderique were transferred to Saint-Martin, adding importance to the place.
Following a medievial tradition (eg William of Gellone, Bernard II, Lord of Lippe) Count Guifried later left his wife, quit his worldy (sinful) life and entered the Benedictian convent here as a monk. He died at this monastery in 1049.
Shortly after that the importance of the monastery dwindeled dramatically. An earthquake ruined the monastery in 1428. The rebuilding took decades.
The small, remote convent was later threatend by food-shortage as well as by gangs of smugglers and raiders, who filled the frontier area with terror, the monastery was secularized. In 1781 the last five monks and the abbot left the buildings. The complex fell into disrepair and were used as a stone quarry by local home-builders.
In 1902 the bishop of Elne and Perpignan bought the ruins and started a pretty radical restauration. Some buildings were even added, to accomodate visitors. In 1922 a number of capitals could be bought back, that had once belonged to the cloister and "got lost" after the French Revolution.
Even if this is not "original" in many aspects, even if it may "lack some character", like some authors wrote, it is a wonderful complex, and as Marcel Durliar wrote, a church "premier art roman méridional", as it is older than most of the other romanesque buildings in Southern France.
In 1922 a number of capitals "returned home", after they had spent about a century in a villa in Vernet-les-Bains. It was known, that two cloisters had existed, similar to Elne. The lower one was built within the 11th, the upper one within the 12th century. As the exact place of the capitals could not be found out anymore, and only one cloister got (partly) reconstructed, a n open gallery was erected.
There are some capitals, made from reddish marble cut in quarries near Villefranche-de-Conflent (14kms north), are younger (12th), have a different geometry and show a totally different iconography, not using the well known patterns. These carvings are "storytelling", but in most cases I could not find the stories that are told. Even Marcel Durliat does not offer an explanation.
As the capital seen here is the by far most strange one, I will approach a little slower, giving an overview from a distance first. This is the capital on the very right - and only three sides are visible, as it is placed next to the wall. It depicts - an orgy. I am sure, that this is not connected to religious rites of ancient Greece. It is connected to "Wine, Women, and Song", or as Ian Dury stated end of the 1970s "Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll".
There has been a conflict in 1114, when this convent lost it´s independence to the abbey of Sainte-Marie de Lagrasse, what the monks never accepted, so that monks from Lagrasse in 1162 even attacked this abbey with the help of mercenary soldiers, looting the monastery, killing at least one person and beating up, whomever the could find.
So there is a theorie, that these capitals were carved, after that conflict was settled (around 1170) - and Saint-Martin-du-Canigou had won the independence back. Maybe this capitals tells a story about what has happened, when the troops had taken over this holy place.
Les prévisions météo indiquaient que le temps serait très nuageux sur le Canigou c'était sans compter sur l'imprévisibilité du temps qui une fois encore a contredit les prévisions puisque le Canigou fût visible très nettement depuis la tour de César au NE d'Aix-en-Provence,vers 15 h le Canigou était dans les nuages et je renonça à aller au pic des Mouches point culminant de la montagne Sainte-Victoire d'où pour cette date du 9 Novembre le soleil passerait derrière le Canigou,j'aurais du y aller réalisant trop tard que la météo s'était fourvoyée une fois de plus. Je n'eus que le temps de me rabattre sur la tour de césar le spectacle fût fantastique comme à chaque fois que l'on a l'incroyable chance d'observer cette incomparable spectacle de la nature

I just wrote, that this is an orgy, connotated to "Wine, Women, and Song", or as Ian Dury stated end of the 1970s "Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll".
Well, you should have in mind, that I do not have any experience with such events at all. So I may be wrong.
This is the third side of the capital. Again a female dancer, fully dressed, in the center. One the left is the bearded guy again, holding a bottle, wineskin or musical instrument. The dog is next to him and another can be seen (strangely carved!) just below the dancer. To the right a person, whose mouth is widely open. Following Marcel Durliat this person holds a bottle and a bowl and so is a symbol for the vice of gluttony, This is probably right. But seeing is widely open mouth I would reckon he is totally drunken and just loosing the control of his stomach.
