Royal Monastery of Santa María de Poblet

Highlight • Religious Site

Monastery founded in 1150, when the church, the monks' refectory, the Sant Esteve chapel, the infirmary and part of the cloister were built. During the 13th century, the rest of the buildings in the complex were completed, with everything the monks needed for their lives here: chapter house, bedroom, cloister, kitchen, the scriptorium, the hospital for the poor and pilgrims, and the chapel of Santa Caterina. In later centuries the dome and the walls, the pantheon and the other royal constructions were added.

L'Espluga de Francolí

Highlight • Settlement

Municipality of the province of Tarragona, in the region of Conca de Barberà. The origin of the town is in the castle that Ponç de Cervera built on top of a nearby mountain in the 11th century. In the middle of the 13th century, the castle became dependent on the monastery of Poblet and the Templars, and in the lower part the encomienda of the Espluga de Francolí was established, under the jurisdiction of the hospital order. In the year 1312, the year of the extinction of the Order of the Temple, the Espluga de Francolí acquires the full señorío.

Among the cultural heritage stands out the old hospital of the Order of San Juan, which currently houses the Mosén Ramón Muntanyola library, the Museo de la Vida Rural, the modernist cooperative winery Celler Cooperatiu, the work of Pere Domènech i Roura, or the Fassina Balanyà, former alcohol factory, today converted into one of the twenty-five industrial museums of the System of the National Museum of Science and Technology of Catalonia.
