Founded in the 12th century by hermits who soon joined the Cistercian order, the Vallbona monastery grew, built and accumulated great power throughout the medieval period. Since this splendid era, monastic life has never ceased.
So many centuries of history have decorated the cenobi with interesting treasures, reminding us that it was once one of the most important religious centers in the country. The monastery mixes Romanesque and Gothic styles, the duration of which proved more short-lived than the construction of the monastery itself.
