Time: 11 a.m.
As part of the European Heritage Days, we suggest a guided tour of the Carthusian monastery of Escaladei.
The Carthusian Monastery of Escaladei stands at the end of a valley, nestling beneath the Montsant hills. In this quiet spot the Carthusian monks followed a way of life marked by silence and prayer, combining the solitude of the hermit with the shelter of community life.
The Carthusian Monastery was founded in 1194, thanks to a grant by King Alfons I to settle population in lands which he had just conquered. Later donations and purchases made the monastery a great feudal lord, owner of a large territory equivalent to the present district of El Priorat.
