About

The Monastery of Pedralbes, located in Barcelona, Spain, is a historic Gothic-style convent founded in 1326 by Queen Elisenda de Montcada. Initially serving as a residence for the Order of Saint Clare, the monastery is renowned for its stunning architecture, including a three-story cloister that is considered one of the finest in Europe. The complex also houses a church, a museum with an extensive collection of medieval and Renaissance art, and beautifully preserved frescoes by Ferrer Bassa.
