Monastery of Santa Maria de Poblet

The Royal Monastery of Santa Maria de Poblet is a Cistercian abbey founded in 1151. It was the royal pantheon of the Kingdom of Aragon from the end of the 14th century until the extinction of the Royal House of Aragon in the 15th century. Abandoned in 1835, its restoration began in 1930, and in 1935, the church could again be dedicated to worship. In 1991, the Poblet Monastery was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
