Cistercian Route
Art & Culture
Can you imagine connecting with mysticism and initiating yourself into the study of what were the main cultural centers of the Middle Ages? The Costa Daurada was a radiant centre of culture during this time when a monastic lifestyle, based on work and study, swept through Europe. From France, the order of the Cistercians that was established in our regions arrived. Administrative buildings, hospitals, chapels, craftsmen's houses and farms were built around the monasteries. Currently we can remember this medieval life through the Cistercian Route, a tour of three monasteries, that of Poblet, -listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO-, that of Santes Creus and that of Vallbona de les Monges, the latter already located in the province of Lleida.
