Summary

Description

The Cistercian monastery of Poblet, in North-east Spain is a World Heritage Site as defined by UNESCO. It is one of the largest and most complete Cistercian abbeys in the world and was built in the 12th to 15th centuries. It's surrounded by a defensive wall and has served as one of the largest and most complete of the Cistercian abbeys, as a massive military complex, and as a royal palace, residence and pantheon.

Almost all the Kings and Queens of old Aragon were buried here and alabaster statues stand above today's visitors. The monastic community of Poblet today consist of more than 30 monks and the monastery contains valuable works of sacred art.
