Founded by Queen Elisenda of Montcada, the wife of King James II of Aragon, in 1326, the monastery is one of the best examples of Catalan Gothic architecture and its three-storey cloister is the city’s most splendid. The enclosure also includes the Church of Pedralbes, a garden of medicinal plants, the tomb of Elisenda of Montcada, and an infirmary that is one of the best preserved examples of a Renaissance hospital building.
