Very beautiful and peaceful. I went late morning on a weekday so i basically had the place to myself. Entry is free to all parts of it. I was able to make my way around the entire grounds in about 45 minutes, though you could do it in less.

fanatastic church for fans of church architecture.....Romanesque and Gothic both in one, and thr monastery is beautiful and very informative. fantastic place to visit

Beautiful building and deep history. Close to the best ice-cream shops for a summer visit!

Sublime and monumental monestry at the heart of St.Cugat. I recommend to meditate while walking around the cloister's porticoid and feel its combination of peace and serenity. Amusing giants at the entrance, best representation of Catalan traditions. Extraordinary church that creates a deep divine feeling when the sun reflects on the rose window.

This monastery is beautiful. It’s free to enter and it’s super interesting to learn about the history. We had to wait a bit before we could go inside the actual church, but it was worth the wait. The interior of the church is exquisite, eccentric and really well maintained. The church is still used for worship and as such you have to be respectful. It’s worth popping in if you have the free time while in Sant Cugat.

The Monastery of Sant Cugat in Spain is a hidden gem steeped in history and architectural brilliance. The medieval monastery boasts intricate carvings, a serene courtyard, and well-preserved Romanesque elements. Exploring its cloisters and chapels provides a glimpse into Catalonia's cultural heritage. The audio guides enhance the experience, offering engaging narratives about the monastery's past. Whether you appreciate religious history, architecture, or simply seek a tranquil retreat, the Monastery of Sant Cugat offers a captivating journey through time in a picturesque setting.

Historical church with so much history it makes my hair stands. Beautifully preserved architecture and stunning interiors with a majestic altar. Must visit in Northern Barcelona!

The monastery is so beautiful inside out. There are so many cafes too just next to monastery as well. Visit this beautiful architecture of 12th century along with a museum and later on enjoy your coffee with a croissant. The view from outside is even prettier as you see kids enjoying their sports with family. This place is always crowded because of its beauty and it is also called as center of Sant cugat. All the stores and best restaurants are nearby.

A really lovely town. Extremely pretty with some lovely restaurants

Very nice stained glass windows! I didn't go in the cloister, because it was a replica of the one I had just seen in Girona. I would recommend a visit if you enjoy seeing beautiful cathedrals!

Beautiful town square, myriad of restaurants and monastery

Nice monastery with lovely workers working there. Check my pics with information about the monastery. If you want to attend the clock tower then check the tourist office schedule of visits. Entrance was free of charge on Sunday but during religious services there is a fee. Inside the church there is a toilet and a small cinema room where they show the history of the place.

Loved the atmosphere! The entrance was free and there was a small (temporary) exposition about a Catalàn politician to see.

Wow, at night it is spectacular, not visited during day but so beautiful and lots of places to eat and drink in the evening.

Beautiful old church and grounds. We were fortunate enough to visit on a Sunday during the hours of worship and it was like stepping into a time machine. Well worth a visit

Must visit. It is key to understand spiritual Catalunya. The entire old town is nice to visit.

Interesting Monastery. Great for photoshooting. Very few people.

Calm and must see place. It is a well preserved and you will enjoy there. There historical place and beautiful nature and many shops. The monument belong 9th century.

Absolutely beautiful place. It is well preserved both inside and outside. The surroundings area has benches and a gravel walkway which is perfect for taking a walk and relaxing.

A turn into part of catholic church history, now with free entrances and well keep. There are some exterior areas on the church which are under renovation.

The icon of the city, a must see, authentic and fantastic piece of history. Charming and still active

Seen at the sun set is very nice. I had a clim at the chiosc a very quiet place.

Beautiful place
