Lonely Planet review

This peaceful museum provides an absorbing insight into medieval monastic life. The convent was founded in 1326 and is a jewel of Catalan Gothic with its three-storey cloister. The few remaining nuns have moved to nearby quarters. Around the cloister, visit the restored refectory, kitchen, stables, stores and infirmary. Built into the cloister walls are day cells where the nuns spent most of their time in prayer and devotional reading. To get there take the FGC train to Reina Elisenda or bus 22, 63, 64 or 75.
