The monastery of Santa María de Vallbona is a female Cistercian abbey founded in the 11th century and built in a mixture of Romanesque and Gothic styles. Together with the Poblet and Santes Creus monasteries, it forms the Cistercian Route.

It is the only female monastery on the Route and the only one that has preserved the community uninterruptedly for more than 850 years, saving times of war. Vallbona is a small monastery endowed with singular beauty and is the clearest exponent of the importance of women in medieval times.
