Wednesday, 25 March 2009 09:59
Although it located off the touristic centre of the city, the monastery of Pedralbes is a unique visiting point within and should be part of your tour in Barcelona.
The monastery of Santa Maria de Pedralbes was founded by Elisenda de Montcada, wife of Jaume II in 1326. The ensamble of the monastery is formed by large cloister that is dominated by the church and surrounded by the various halls and buildings of the religious community.
