The Monastery of Santa María de Santes Creus is a Cistercian abbey built in the 12th century. The grandeur of the monastery is due to the donations received from the nobility who wanted to be buried here.

On the banks of the river Gaià we find the monastery of Santes Creus, one of the main jewels of Catalan medieval art. This majestic temple is part of the Cistercian Route that includes the three existing Cistercian monasteries in Catalonia.
