Cistercian monasticism represented one of the most fascinating religious movements of the twelfth century, a profoundly innovative century that would determine the destinies of the world we call medieval. This order, which sought to return to the original ascetic ideal of Benedict of Nursia and which soon spread throughout Latin Christendom, also produced great figures of Christian spirituality, such as Bernard of Clairvaux. Our route offers to visit the three great Cistercian monasteries of medieval Catalonia: Santa Maria de Poblet, Santa Maria de Santes Creus and Santa Maria Vallbona. It is our intention to get to know these excepcional monuments and to understand the experience of Cistercian monks and nuns in its various dimensions and in relation to the realities they had to face in their return to what they called the desert.
