Cartuja de Porta Coeli, Carthusian monastery in Serra, Spain
The monastery exhibits Gothic architecture with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and large windows surrounded by agricultural fields in a secluded valley.
Founded in 1272 by Bishop Andreu d'Albalat, Porta Coeli stands as the first Carthusian establishment in the Valencian Kingdom and third in the Crown of Aragon.
The monastery holds significance as the birthplace of the Valencian Bible, translated by Bonifaci Ferrer, brother of Valencia's patron saint Vincent Ferrer.
The monastery maintains strict access restrictions, operating as an active religious community where Carthusian monks continue their traditional contemplative lifestyle.
A medieval Gothic aqueduct with twelve arches remains intact near the monastery, demonstrating the architectural engineering capabilities of the 14th century.
