Monastery of Pedralbes 🇪🇸
#timetotravel
The Monastery of Pedralbes in Barcelona is a hidden gem of tranquility and history. Nestled in lush gardens, this Gothic complex feels like a serene oasis away from the bustling city.
As you step through the entrance, you're transported to a bygone era. The elegant cloister, with its delicate arches and slender columns, is a masterpiece of medieval architecture. The church is a serene place for contemplation, adorned with beautiful stained glass windows.
The museum within the monastery provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the nuns who once inhabited these walls, showcasing their art and daily life.
The highlight, however, is the peaceful garden. Strolling among the fragrant roses and ancient trees, you can't help but feel a sense of serenity and connection with the past.
The Monastery of Pedralbes is a hidden treasure in Barcelona, a place where history and tranquility converge to create a truly special experience.

Barcelona’s medieval monastery
For the first time, even for me, though I am from Barcelona, we visited 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼 𝗱𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗯𝗲𝘀⛪️
👉This is an old monastery founded in the 14th century that keeps until this day its ancient charm
A cobblestone covered street leads the way uphill to its entrance, and right upon setting the foot inside you feel part of a scene of 𝘎𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘛𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴 👑
The first sight is the cloister, where interestingly, they grow medicinal plants in the garden to reminisce about the plant-based remedies from the medieval era 🌱☘️
After walking around the cloister find a little door 🚪 at a corner to access the old kitchen where it is quite impressive to witness very old equipment like ovens, stoves, pots and pans that they must have used at the time to prepare food for the nuns in the monastery 🍽
A stairs take you up to the second floor where the view over the central garden is really beautiful
And later on you can choose to take the elevator down to see the medieval garden
There, they grow edibles like tomatoes, carrots, potatoes or onions using ancient methods 🥬🥕🍅
We really enjoyed our visit here and learning a bit more about the history of this place that at the time was a relatively far location from downtown 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗮.
Nowadays it is already engulfed by the city and it is the crown of 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗮’𝘀 upper-class neighborhood of Pedralbes, where you can find the most expensive apartments in the city.
