Santa Maria de Solius, Cistercian monastery and church in Solius, Spain
Santa Maria de Solius consists of a single nave church with three lateral chapels on each side and an octagonal bell tower topped with a dome.
Established in 1967 by four monks from Poblet Monastery, including founder Edmon Maria Garreta, the monastery was built next to a parish church dating from the 1773.
The monastery maintains a collection of 44 Nativity scene dioramas created by Fray Gilbert Galceran, showcasing detailed religious artistry through miniature displays.
The monastery operates a bookbinding workshop and welcomes visitors to view its Nativity scenes during Christmas season, with advance phone confirmation required.
The monastery library has expanded through donations while the resident monks divide their time between liturgical duties, agriculture, and artistic bookbinding activities.
