Religious routes

Discover the hidden Benedictine monasteries of the 9th century in the Pyrenees, or follow in the footsteps of the Paul the Apostle in Roman Tarragona. Visit the monastery of Montserrat and adore the image of the Virgin of Montserrat as you head towards the sacred cave in which San Ignacio de Loyola lived and wrote his spiritual exercises.

The Cistercian monasteries of Santes Creus, Poblet and Vallbona de les Monges, from the Gothic period, form one of the most spectacular routes in Catalonia, known as the Cistercian route.

One of the most well preserved religious and civil treasures is known as the Temple route, which includes the fortresses of Lleida and the cities of Tortosa and Miravet, designed so that travellers who went on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land could have protection.
