Valldemossa Charterhouse, Former Carthusian monastery in Valldemossa, Spain.
The complex includes a neoclassical church from 1751, featuring Latin cross design, stucco decoration, frescoes, and sculptures by multiple artists.
Martin of Aragon transferred the royal palace to Carthusian monks in 1399, who maintained the monastery until their expulsion during the 1835 Mendizábal confiscation.
The former cell number four contains letters, manuscripts, and a Pleyel piano used by composer Frédéric Chopin during his winter stay in 1838.
The monastery opens its halls, pharmacy, prior's cell, and gardens to visitors, displaying artifacts that demonstrate the daily routines of Carthusian monks.
The monastery houses Spain's third oldest pharmacy, containing an extensive collection of historical medicinal containers, glass vessels, and documentation of herbal remedies.
