Place: Vimbodí y Poblet
Kind: Monastery

The Cistercian monastery sponsored by Ramón Berenguer IV, who handed it to monks of Fontfroide in 1149, a royal pantheon of the Crown of Aragon, which the Catholic Monarchs visited in 1493. From later centuries date the Renaissance alabaster altarpiece that Damián Forment made between 1527 and 1529 and the Baroque gate to the church atrium, which the Duke of Cardona had built in 1670. Not all spaces can be visited, because the Cistercians occupy the monastery again.
