The stunning tomb of Queen Eisenda
de Montcada, founder of the convent.

Tomb of a nobleman woman turned
nun and two young girls.

Frescoes painted from 1343-1346 in a chapel
off the cloister.  Done by Ferrer Bassa.

This fellow looks surprised and upset.

The expressions on their faces are priceless.

This medieval choir books
are nearly three feet long.

A fine view of the cloister.

The simple church tower,
above the trees in the cloister.

A view up the lane.
