Why visit the Monastery of Sant Cugat?

Located in Sant Cugat del Vallès, the monastery is a key example of medieval art in Catalonia, originating from the 9th century. The entrance ticket includes an audio guide in English that can be used on your mobile device.

The audio guide offers two tours. The first, titled "Feel the voice of the monastery", details the history of a major Benedictine abbey, including access to the monastery church to view its artistic treasures across Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles.

The second tour, "The book of medieval stone", grants access to the monastery's renowned Romanesque cloister, where visitors can view a selection of 31 capitals that illustrate the customs of the Benedictine monks and biblical narratives.
