santes creus monastery印象
-
Great place to visit to learn a lot about the many monasteries in Catalunia. The area is well kept, I learned a lot also with the audio self guided tour. The entrance was difficult to find, it's a good thing we didn't give up to find it. Outside, there is a small cafe that serves excellent coffee and the famous catalunia bread. High recommended.

In Santas Creus youy can smell the middle-ages. Visit the monastery, which is much more original than the Poblet one, and you will learn a lot about the cisterians. Make sure to see the audiovisual. Ask for it, as they use to send foreign tourist to the monastery without this audiovisual. Tip: free at tuesdays

The monastery survived over 500 years before being sacked, but has to a large degree been reconstructed, and beautifully. The self-guided (audio guide) tour of the museum is impressive, walking you in the shoes of a hypothetical young member of the monastery community from many hundreds of years ago. It was eye-opening to learn the degree of economic and practical influence that these monasteries had, especially given my admitted distaste for religious oversight.Very well worth a visit; give yourself enough time to really enjoy it and let the experience sink in.

loved it !this place is brillant, we did the "tour" with MontBlanc, Poblet and Santes Cruz.Obviously poblet is still active so very well maintained and very impressive. However even if not so neat, Santes Cruz was impressive too and the audio/video show very creative : I loved it.

The local Catalan government prepares and presents its tourist attractions very well. This is a well preserved Abbey, and is easy to navigate around using the supplied tour brochure in your choice of language. We missed the English guided tour - it goes at 2 pm, however the brochure is adequate. The buildings have been reasonably well preserved, and the sculptures are most interesting - including some representations of the sculpturer himself, and his friends!

When you enter the monastery you have a wonderful option to see the film they provide to explain how the monks use to live,think and work.It's very well done...a hint...it's not just a film,there are surprises. ;)

It's a bit away so we needed a car to get there, but it was absolutely amazing.The site is well kept and the atmosphere is astonishing. We explored the surrounding area making it a whole day experience.Worth the journey!

The outside of this is not as impressive as Poblet but they have an excellent video (really more of a son et lumière) that gives history of the Cistercian Order. It provides a great context for visits all 3 monasteries. There is a video in English (schedules will vary).

These three monasteries are close to Barcelona and world heritage site. Try to visit them. They are very well kept and belong to a incredible portion of the history of the Catholic religion. The Cathar movement! the monastery is very well kept, and you can buy a ticket to visit the three of them. We only saw this one and Poblet, due to time constrains.
