Discover the Cistercian Route on a guided tour. Explore the Royal Monastery of Santa Maria de Poblet, the Royal Monastery of Santes Creus, and enjoy a wine tasting at a local winery.
Begin your day at the Royal Monastery of Santa Maria de Poblet, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest inhabited Cistercian abbey in Europe. Stand beneath the magnificent alabaster tombs of the Kings of Aragon, a masterpiece of Gothic sculpture.
Wander through the serene Romanesque and Gothic cloisters where monks have lived in silence for over 800 years. Learn about the "Ora et Labora" (Pray and Work) lifestyle that the resident community of monks still follows today.
After a short scenic drive through rolling hills, arrive at the Royal Monastery of Santes Creus. While no longer inhabited by monks, its preservation is unparalleled. Explore the unique "Gothic Transition" style, featuring the legendary rose window and the intricately carved laundry fountain.
Visit the only intact royal tombs of the Catalan-Aragonese dynasty, belonging to King Peter the Great and James II. Discover where medieval manuscripts were painstakingly copied by hand.
No journey through these lands is complete without honoring the Cistercian tradition of viticulture. Sample 3–4 premium wines (including the rare, local Trepat grape) paired with local olive oil, toasted nuts, and carquinyolis (almond biscuits). Learn how the limestone soil and Mediterranean breeze create the distinct "Cistercian character" in every bottle.
