Santes Creus, Cistercian monastery in Aiguamúrcia, Spain.
The monastery sits in a valley near the Gaià River, with its church displaying a combination of Romanesque portal and Gothic window features.
Founded in 1158 by the Moncada family, the monastery grew into a royal pantheon for Aragon kings during the 13th and 14th centuries.
The monastery presents pure Cistercian architecture with a Latin cross layout, three naves, and five chapels containing royal tombs of Catalan nobility.
Visitors can contact the monastery at +34 977638329 or santescreus.cultura@gencat.cat for guided tours and additional information about opening hours.
The Gothic cloister, commissioned by Jaume II in 1313, features intricate sculptural details and includes a small Romanesque temple with a central fountain.
