Monestir de Santa Maria de Benifassà
Monestir de Santa Maria de Benifassà, Cistercian monastery in La Pobla de Benifassà, Spain.
The monastery features a large single-nave church with Gothic architectural elements, surrounded by monastic buildings and cloisters dating from different periods.
Founded in 1235 under King Jaime I's reign, this monastery stands as the first Christian religious establishment in Valencian territory following the Catalan conquest.
The monastery contains a collection of manuscripts and theological texts that document centuries of religious practices and monastic traditions in medieval Spain.
Visitors can explore the monastery grounds during specific hours, with access to certain areas restricted due to the presence of an active Carthusian nun community.
The monastery's architectural evolution spans from late Romanesque to Gothic styles, with modifications made by different abbots through the centuries.
