Santa María de Vilabertrán, Romanesque monastery and church in Vilabertran, Spain

The monastery complex centers around a trapezoidal cloister with a three-nave basilica church featuring a prominent Lombard bell tower and circular apses.

Pere Rigau established the Augustinian canonical community in 1069, initiating the construction of the basilica in 1080, which was consecrated twenty years later.

The monastery houses a significant Gothic processional cross from the 14th century, representing the largest example of Gothic goldsmithery in Catalonia.

Visitors can explore the monastery from Tuesday through Sunday, with operating hours varying between summer and winter seasons, including guided tours.

The monastery walls contain the preserved tombstone of Alfonso el Casto from 1196, believed to hold remains of the monarch.
