Pleasantly surprised by the visit to the monastery. It starts with a short video on the history of the monastery, in your language, then the tour continues with the cloister and the monastery and ends with the museum which contains some pretty pieces. To visit absolutely!

Small, but with good acoustics and a good cloister. We met a woman singing and the truth is that it brightened the time and the good acoustics were noticeable.

Beautiful monastery in Ripollés. Admission costs 3 euros (no cards allowed). First they pass a documentary about the interesting history of the monastery and place us at the time, then we will visit the parts that can be visited (beautiful cloister) and end with the entrance to the museum. Interesting visit!

Due to its proximity to the Ripoll monastery, comparisons are inevitable. This one has much more charm, but it doesn't have the grandeur of Ripoll. So do your best to visit them both, it's worth it.
