A beautiful and tranquil former convent away from the crowds that is now part of Barcelona's City Museum of History (Museu d'Història de Barcelona).
The Royal Monastery of St Mary of Pedralbes, founded by Queen Elisenda de Montcada in 1327, stands as a unique historical and cultural testament to the Poor Clare community who lived there continuously from 1327 until just recently.
With almost 700 years of history, the monastery stands as a unique testament not only to the monastic life of the Poor Clare community who lived there until just recently but also to the history of Barcelona and Catalunya.
