Poblet Monastery, Cistercian monastery in Vimbodí i Poblet, Spain.
The monastery complex spans 12,000 square meters at the foot of Prades Mountains, featuring stone walls and multiple courtyards within its fortified perimeter.
Founded in 1151 by Cistercian monks from France, the monastery became a royal pantheon for the Aragonese kings starting with James I.
The monastery contains alabaster royal tombs with detailed sculptures, including lions at the feet of kings and dogs at the feet of queens.
Visitors can explore the monastery from Monday to Sunday between 15:00 and 17:25, with guided tours explaining the architectural and religious elements.
The monastery maintains an active community of 29 professed monks who continue the Cistercian traditions established over eight centuries ago.
