Monastery of Sant Cugat Visit with Audio Guide

The Monastery of Sant Cugat features a notable Romanesque cloister and offers insight into its history and architecture through a ticket that includes an audio guide with two thematic tours.

Why visit the Monastery of Sant Cugat?

Located in the historic center of Sant Cugat del Vallès, the Monastery of Sant Cugat is a prime example of medieval art in Catalonia. The ticket grants access to the entire monastic complex, with origins dating back to the 9th century, and includes an audio guide in English for use on your mobile device.

The audio guide features two tours. The first, "Feel the voice of the monastery", covers the history of a significant Benedictine abbey, including entry to the monastery church to observe the convergence of Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles. The second tour, "The book of medieval stone", provides access to the monastery's renowned Romanesque cloister, where 31 capitals narrate the customs of the Benedictine monks and biblical passages.
