More information
It preserves almost all the buildings that were put up according to the needs of a community in full vitality and expansion, with the protection of the sovereigns of the Catalan-Aragonese confederation, especially from when Peter III the Ceremonious (1336-1387) made the monastery the royal pantheon of the dynasty. Poblet is the largest monastery on the Cistercian Route and, of the two male monasteries, the only one that still keeps a community of monks. In 1991 it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
