Monestir de Santa Maria de Benifassà

The Monastery of Santa María de Benifassà, also known as the Charterhouse of Santa María, is a Cistercian monastery located in the municipality of Puebla de Benifasar, in the Province of Castellón, Spain. Situated to the northeast of the hill of Santa Escolastica, it is a Gothic building constructed in the 13th century, with additions from the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries. It was declared a National Historic-Artistic Monument in 1931. It is considered the first Cistercian foundation in the Kingdom of Valencia and one of the oldest monumental complexes in the Valencian Community. Since 1967, the monastery has been occupied by a cloistered community of Carthusian nuns of the Order of Saint Bruno, the only community of this kind in Spain. Only the church is open to visitors.
