About Poblet Monastery
Poblet Monastery was founded in 1151 by Cistercian monks under the patronage of Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Barcelona, as part of the order's expansion into newly reconquered Catalonia. It grew into one of the wealthiest monasteries in the Crown of Aragon. From the fourteenth century it served as the royal pantheon of the kings of Aragon.
