Santa Fe Monastery was founded at the end of the 12th century. It consists of religious and civic buildings: the 13th-14th century church , the cloister from the 17th century, and 15th century granary peculiar for its square plan on twelve posts.
The 13th century church has a simple interior, highlighting the great lattice that divides the altar of the faithful, of which few samples remain because they were removed over time. The simple altarpiece is made up of naive images, childlike in appearance, related to artisan trades, far from the style of the later great schools of Lumbier-Sangüesa or Pamplona.
References:The Château de Foix dominates the town of Foix. An important tourist site, it is known as a centre of the Cathars. Built on an older 7th-century fortification, the castle is known from 987. In 1002, it was mentioned in the will of Roger I, Count of Carcassonne, who bequeathed the fortress to his youngest child, Bernard. In effect, the family ruling over the region were installed here which allowed them to control access to the upper Ariège valley and to keep surveillance from this strategic point over the lower land, protected behind impregnable walls.
In 1034, the castle became capital of the County of Foix and played a decisive role in medieval military history. During the two following centuries, the castle was home to Counts with shining personalities who became the soul of the Occitan resistance during the crusade against the Albigensians.
