Monestir de Santa Maria de Valldonzella, Cistercian monastery in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, Spain.

The monastery features a Gothic-inspired church with decorative glass windows and ornamental supports in the transept arches, designed by architect Bernardí Martorell.

The monastery's history dates to 1237 when Berenguera de Cervera and eleven nuns established the initial community near Barcelona.

The monastery maintained a medieval school where nuns taught grammar, liturgy, calligraphy, illumination, music, weaving, and embroidery to noble daughters.

The current monastery building, located at 41 Carrer del Císter, opened in 1913 and received its consecration in 1922.

King Martin I of Aragon died within the monastery walls in 1410, marking a significant connection between this religious institution and medieval royalty.
