Poblet Monastery

The Royal Abbey of Santa Maria de Poblet (Catalan: Reial Monestir de Santa Maria de Poblet) is a Cistercian monastery. The abbey is located at the feet of the Prades Mountains, in the comarca of Conca de Barberà, in Catalonia (Spain). It was founded in 1150 by Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Barcelona. It was the first of three monasteries that made up the "Cistercian triangle". The other two were Vallbona de les Monges and Santes Creus. The main architect was Arnau Bargués.

#Winelover tip: when you eat at the restaurant here in Poblet, make sure you try Trepat (the local red grape variety of the region). Cheers!

Огромный, интересный, с большой территорией, залами и потрясающим алтарем! А какой внутренний двор! При входе в монастырь- Лавка, где можно купить Сладости и Каву, вино.а также сувениры или керамику.

Огромный монастырь с красивой территорией и историей. В субботу летом было почти безлюдно. Рядом магазинчик где можно купить от сувениров до посуды и книг. А также, конечно же, местное вино.

Precioso pero eso de que tengas que ir acompañado en la visita le quita un poco la gracia.

La visita libre no tiene sentido. Tienes que unirte a un grupo con guía para poder entrar o salir de las salas, así que acabas haciendo el recorrido con guía pero sin enterarte de nada.
