Origin and history
The cloister of the Dominicans of Anglet originated in Collioure (Pyrénées-Orientales), where it was part of a Dominican convent founded in the 14th century. This convent, one of the three of the order in the region of Roussillon, today preserves only its church and a span of the cloister. The gallery, composed of 17 marble archatures of Ceret, was sold to an antique dealer at the beginning of the 20th century, losing six of its capitals and bases.
Moved to Anglet, the cloister was classified as Historic Monument by decree of 15 July 1928. He returned to Collioure in 1996, after a period of exile. Its architecture reflects the importance of Dominican convents in the medieval Roussillon, especially in Perpignan, where the largest of them remains. Materials, such as local marble, highlight the artistic exchanges of the time.
The preserved span, with its twin columns, illustrates the southern Gothic style. Its marble portal and simple nave recall the sobriety of the religious buildings of the region. The partial sale in the 20th century and its subsequent classification testify to the challenges of preserving the heritage in the face of spoliations and territorial changes.
