The former Augustine cloister Santa Maria de Vilabertran is an example of an outstanding and well-reconditioned cloister that was fully developed in the Romanesque form. Visitors note particularly how the interior of the church captivates by its clear space pattern and spaciousness and by the plain solid brickwork. The three-nave basilica with a short transverse and three Apsidal results in a high vault and the belt elbows, which arranges the area into yokes. The church is the oldest part of the monastery and was inaugurated in the year 1000. The exterior view is dominated by the solid three-floor bell tower in the Lombardy style. This Italy-inspired style is seen in the typical decorative breaking through of the towers by double windows and arcades, which diminish the image up of the defence brickwork. The Lombardy style was introduced and spread under the famous bishop Oliva (circa 1046) in Catalonia. The building of the monastery dates from the 12th to 14th Century, a boom time for the monastery, which expanded its influence under the protection of the princes Rocaberti and king Alfons I. The chapel for the Rocaberti tomb was added in the 14th Century and expanded the transverse nave of the church. An additional annex is the adjacent vestry and the chapel de Dolores, which dates back to the 18th century. In 1960, during renovation, a precious gold forging work, a silver cross, finely worked, was found. Possibly this jewel originates from a gift exchange on the occasion of the wedding of Jacob II with Blanca from Anjou, which took place 1295 in Vilabertran.
