Founded in 1151 by French monks, Real Monasterio de Santa Maria de Poblet forms a triangle with two other monasteries: Vallbona de les Monges and Santes Creus. Eight Aragonese kings were buried here over three centuries. War turned the monastery to ruins, but Italian monks reconstructed it in 1940. You’ll see the imprint of the centuries’ various architectural styles here. Active monks still live at this site. You can even visit the wine cellar for a tasting.

  • Nice place for a relaxed day. There is a guided tour. Don't miss it!
  • How monument, is awesome! A place to see and enjoy the architecture. The bad thing is that the visits are short and could do some reconstruction to see how life was in the past, since it is empty. Interesting but can be improved.

  • The Royal Monastery of Santa Maria de Poblet Cistercian order was founded in the year 1150 is a site that gathers tranquillity in their environment and with an architectural complex and that as a whole it is worth to be visited on more than one occasion and that I particularly have made from 65 years to date I have seen changes in the course of all these years.
