    Super beautiful romanic church/kloster, really impressed! Adult Entrance fee is 6€. If you're up for a little hike I completely recommend the walk from the furthest parking lot. Starting at Santa Helena de Rodes, Menhir, Castle of Verdera and later down to the Monastery. Outstanding views.It has some challenging parts but my girlfriend did it with sandals, so its doable.

    We paid 8€ for a theatized guide it's more of a family thing, but we actually enjoyed it even though we didn't have a kid with us. The guide did a great job. She is so good with what she does. She was well informed. The place is so beautiful with a lot of history. The views from the top are breath taking. If you want to visit this place as a family and you want your kids to have fun during the tour. I recommend you pick the (guía theatrizada).

    Well worth the trip for the views. If you can walk to the castle too. Excellent restaurant for lunch but might be worth booking as coach trips use it.

    Superb views from here. Short walk from the car park. Very steep walk up to the castle so anyone with mobility issues should avoid. Very much worth the climb. Would highly recommend.

    Drove up here after having lunch in Cadaques. Nice 30 minute visit in the monastery for €6pp followed by a 30 minute hike up to the ruins on the hilltop. The hike is short but very steep and can be tricky at parts. Monestery has toilets inside, parking is free outside.

    Beautiful and majestic. One of the best organised self-tours of any historic building. Lovely audio tour and extra commentary available on selection - made for a really comprehensive insight into a fascinating building and history.

    Very interesting and nice place, worth the long and scenic drive. Reserve two hours for the visit. A free audio guide can be downloaded to a mobile using local WLan.

    It takes about 30 min to go around the building, but you can explore the area around and claim the peak of the mountain. Note dogs are not allowed in the monastery.

  • 5/5 Edgar V. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible history. Worth going there.

    Absolutely worth visiting, beautiful location, interesting building Audio guide is very useful. It's worth hiking hiking the loop trail up to the Castell de Verdera and to the village ruins and church.

  • 5/5 Bastiaan N. 10 months ago on Google
    A stunning cloister in a great setting. Worth the drive. The audio guide is on your phone and sometimes lengthy to do with children. If you are here take some time to visit the nearby church

  • 3/5 Ernesto V. 10 months ago on Google
    Stunning just a beautiful piece from the early romantic Catalan unbelievable views the restaurant not so good but what is worth is the abuse and the convent. People the restaurant are rude.

  • 5/5 Mayra N. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing architecture from the romanic period in Catalonia

  • 5/5 Andrew T. 1 year ago on Google
    Didn't go inside but lovely to look at from the outside and hilltop and road leading up to it

  • 5/5 Ben G. 6 years ago on Google
    Lovely place to go and see. Amazing views. The tour is worth doing if you enjoy historical information and is included with entrance. The last Tuesday of the month has free admittance but is €5.50 any other time and worth that price. Walks up to the castle is not something you would want to do in sandals.

  • 5/5 Alexander P. 1 year ago on Google
    A true highlight well worth visiting. A 1000 years old monastery, today a museum. Spectacular views, children can visit for free
