    These ruins are what remains of a Cistercian monastery founded in the 13th century. Its name, meaning "Valley of the Cross," alludes to the nearby Pillar of Eliseg. The abbey's well-preserved ruins and serene setting in the valley make it a popular historical and scenic attraction for visitors.
