On the outskirts of La Pobla de Lillet, in a privileged location at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by meadows and crops, is one of the most important monasteries in Berguedà: the Monastery of Santa Maria de Lillet, declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest. Below, we offer you a brief tour of its architecture and history.

The church, in Romanesque style and with a Latin cross floor plan, has a remarkable square cloister, a little later than the church, a typical example of a rustic cloister.

The monastery was built mostly during the 11th century, but the reforms lasted until the 18th century, which translates into a transformation of the appearance of the religious building. In this sense, this monastery bears witness to different periods: pre-Romanesque (apse remains), Lombard Romanesque (central nave, 11th-12th centuries), Gothic (north transept and door, 1397) and classical-Baroque (tuscan columns). and plaster capitals, 16th-18th centuries).
