- The Royal Monastery of Santa Maria de Santes Creus is an abbey Cistercian built from the century xii, located in the municipality of Aiguamurcia, in the province of Tarragona, Spain. It was in the 13th century when under the patronage of Pedro III of Aragon who expressed his desire to be buried in the monastery, the royal pantheon was built, in which his son King Jaime II was buried. Part of the nobility followed this medieval custom and chose this place for their eternal rest, achieving the monastery the time of maximum splendor and greatness thanks to the numerous donations received, until the decision of Pedro IV of Aragon in 1340 to install the pantheon of the monarchy in the monastery of Poblet.
The monastery's origins date to 1150, when the Lords of Montagut and Albà donated the village of Santes Creus to the monks of Valldaura. The papal decree that was required to establish a monastery was made by Pope Alexander II, and construction of the monastery began in 1174. The complex was completed in 1225.
During the 17th and 18th century, expansion and reform works continued, adding new exterior units. This continuous activity was abruptly cut short in 1835 with the confiscation of Mendizábal, moment in which the monastery suffers the abandonment by the Cistercian community and is doomed to ruin. National Monument in 1921, it has undergone successive restoration and refurbishment, and today place of cultural events of various kinds under management of the Generalitat of Catalonia from 1981.

Boys from B&A, thank you for the opportunity to get to know this beautiful historical monument. Even from your film, you can still feel peace in the premises, it's a pity that (I assume) there are no monks there anymore. In any case, it is commendable that Spain has the money to maintain such gems. Maybe I can still visit some of them.
The end of video - the shots from the roof are amazing. Feeding cats too.
Thanks Adam. yes Santes Creus doesn't have monks living there anymore, unlike Poblet. The Roof shots are possible thanks to the Santes Creus that granted us permission, it's really a great view up there. Those cats are so cute and curious, and not afraid of strangers. They made our filming day a little more fun. 😀
Gracias amigo. This has to be one of the most beautiful monasteries in Europe. I have been to Terragona, I have never visited this amazing place though. Hopefully one day. My favourite monastery is saint Jerome monastery in Granada. Great to pay respects to El gran capitan who is buried there.
Great video. Great place.... And... Cats... Perfect combination!!
Thanks, yes, those lovely cats just made our day. I could film them all day long. 😁
Amazing video as always 💛 My imagination had a picture of past time when there live people … like game of thrones 😂 Without people this place looks breathtaking also this place not so popular for many people. So adorable moment with cats 🐱 feeding them. Hope they have a cares from people all time! Thanks a million for walking 😊
Thanks Irene. This monastery is actually one of the most famous ones in Catalunya and one of the Cistercian triangle(Poblet, Santes Creus, and Vallbona). the last one we haven't filmed yet. Those cats are so so cute, they approached us when we're filming at that square, so I made that little black kitten into the intro. They have someone in the town taking care of them. Have you noticed that that the bigger cat in the end, she has some surgery mark on the left side of her tummy. I wish them grow healthily, one of the black cats was poking a bee on the floor(01:20), I wasn't actually noticing at that moment but I stopped it right away after that clip, and I also saved the poor bee🐝. OH, I could talk about cats nonstop. Anyway, have a great weekend.😀
Thank you for your hard work!
Thanks for stopping by. 😀
