What you will find there

This is one of the largest and best-preserved Cistercian monasteries that can be visited in the present day. Founded in 1168, protected by kings and nobles, it became a centre for spirituality, learning and the repopulation of the surrounding lands. Monastic life continued there uninterruptedly until the suppression of the monasteries in 1835.

The sober and imposing church contains the tombs of king Pere el Gran and of Jaume II and his wife Blanca d'Anjou, as well as the great admiral Roger de Llúria. You can also admire Cistercian and Gothic stained glass and a Baroque retable by Josep de Tremulles.

Also particularly interesting are the chapter house, the scriptorium, the monk's large dormitory and the Gothic cloister with its elegant carved decoration (14th century) attributed to the English mason Reinart des Fonoll.

The montage and audiovisual 'The Cistercian World', considered one of the best of its kind in Europe, provides a full and fascinating insight into the order and its legacy.
