Within the city limits of Barcelona, you can find a beautiful, peaceful and quiet monastery, a centuries old retreat from the dynamic city and still home to Poor Clare nuns today.
One part, originally used as the infirmary for the nuns, has been turned into a well-kept museum with explanations in three languages. Here you can find anything from paintings, beautiful old books with calligraphy and brilliantly decorated letters, furniture, chapels, and the old kitchen. While walking in these parts, on the background there was a heavenly singing, with an amazing acoustic. I tried to find the source, but apparently the room was somewhere I could not go. Yet, the singing accompanied me until I went outside for a visit to the inner garden with renaissance pond, the arched courtyard, and a collection of rare paintings. Unfortunately, the chapel of San Miguel was under construction, although I could still see the Giotto-like frescoes behind the protective glass. As more people were coming in, I moved to the very Gothic church before ending my visit to Pedralbes.
