Cloister of Poblet, Medieval cloister at Poblet Monastery in Catalonia, Spain
The cloister features Gothic arches, vaulted galleries, and a central garden with a hexagonal washing fountain dating from the 13th century.
Built between 1163 and 1313, the cloister replaced an earlier Romanesque structure during the monastery's period as the royal pantheon of Aragon.
The cloister's capitals display intricate carvings depicting biblical scenes, medieval life, and regional flora, representing Catalan Gothic sculptural traditions.
Visitors can access the cloister through guided tours available daily from 10:00 to 18:00, with detailed explanations in multiple languages.
The cloister contains a preserved hexagonal lavatorium where monks performed ceremonial hand washing before meals according to Cistercian customs.
