Founded by Cistercians. It isn't a working monastery any longer, but has been restored as a museum. The tour started with a multi-media presentation in some of the old vaults, then continued with a human guide, wandering through both cloisters and various rooms and palaces, and even up to the cemetery.By an old tradition, if you had one cypress tree growing in your courtyard, it was a sign to travelers that they could buy drink at your house. If you had two cypress trees in your garden, then they could get a meal as well. And if you had three, then you'd also put them up for the night. So you had to be careful how many trees you planted.
