Cistercian Monastery

TIME : 2016/2/19 1:53:20

This largely insignificant village, just short of the Aragonese frontier, contains a wonderful Cistercian monastery , founded in 1162, where monks lived until the monastery was expropriated in 1835. The order was allowed to return in 1930 and 25 Cistercians are now in residence.
