Well preserved gothic monastery. Amazing piece of architecture. Calm and silent place. You can easily feel how nuns lived their lives in the past.

Originally the monastery (built in white stone, pertas albes in Catalan, whence its denomination) was defended by a line of walls, of which today only two towers and one gate remain.

The church has a single nave, with rib vaults and a polygonal apse, and houses a Gothic retablo by Jaume Huguet. The façade is characterized by a large rose window.

The cloister has three floors, and a length of 40 meters, with a central garden of orange trees and palms. It is formed by wide arches on columns, whose capitals are decorated with the emblems of the Kings of Aragon and the House of Montcada. The sepulchre of Queen Elisenda, in alabaster stone, is located in one of the cloister's wings.

Also notable is the Chapel of St. Michael, housing several fresco paintings by Ferrer Bassa. Dating to 1346, they show the influence of the Italian painter Giotto.

The former dormitory previously housed a permanent exhibition of painters such as Rubens, Canaletto, Tintoretto, Velázquez and Beato Angelico (Virgin of the Humility, one of his masterworks).

Noise of reconstruction plus some minor closures prevent five star rating.

The architecture of the monastery was very cool to see. The audio tour provided a lot of extra historical information which was interesting but there was a LOT, and I skipped the last few since it was so much information that wasn't actually important to me. Not a bad thing, just enjoy the place in whatever way best suits you.

Beautiful place and lots of history. My favourite parts were the kitchen and the dioramas in Sala Joan Mari i Oliva. €5 adult and €3.50 reduced entry (without audio guides)

Wonderful monastir in a beautiful and quiet environment, in unpscale neighborhood of Pedralbes. The church is not special from the inside, since the ancient frescos has been erased in the XIX century, though, but still worth a visit.

This Gothic monastery museum shows the old daily style of religious community. The interior rooms are interesting for the furniture, paintings, sculptures, ceramics, ethnology, etc.
