Nopeat faktat: Over 1,300 artworks fill the halls, showcasing Catalan and international artists side by side. A striking collection of 12th-century Romanesque murals offers a rare glimpse into medieval art embedded within the monastery walls.
Kohokohdat: The collection includes pieces from Picasso and Dalí, but one of the coolest highlights is the detailed Romanesque frescoes you can see only here, painted directly onto the monastery’s stone walls. The art interacts uniquely with natural light filtering through mountain air, creating a timeless experience that feels like stepping into history and creativity simultaneously.
