PEDRALBES MONASTERY AND MUSEUM |
Founded in 1327 by Queen Elisenda de Montcada, the monastery for the nuns of the order of St Clare in Pedralbes is still imbued with the peace and Quiet of monastic life. The ensemble includes the church and monastery, set out around a magnificent three-tier cloister which provides access to the main rooms: the dormitory, the refectory, the chapterhouse, the abbey and the nuns' cells, one of which contains Ferrer Bassa's splendid mural paintings. A visit to this landmark allows us to see the artistic legacy preserved by the community of nuns of St Clare throughout the centuries and to discover the way they lived. THE MONASTERY'S HERITAGE From 12th February The Museu-Monestir presents in the dormitory room a selection of the finest works from its noble heritage: sculptures, paintings, illuminated manuscripts, silver- and goldware, exquisite Flemish retables, medieval furniture... Preserved during centuries of cloistered life, these elements of remarkable artistic quality are being put on public display for the first time.
