Santes Creus nace en espíritu el 1150, cuando la familia de los Montcada cede la primera ubicación del monasterio en Valldaura del Vallès. La primera fecha, pero, de posesión del lugar de Santes Creus en el valle del Gaià la encontramos el 1158. Dadas las disensiones jurisdiccionales entre el obispado de Barcelona y el arzobispado de Tarragona, el monasterio fue víctima de un pleito que motivó que su adscripción fuese exenta de ninguna diócesis. La fachada principal de la iglesia, coronada por almenas, data del siglo XII y presenta una portalada románica con un gran ventanal gótico. La planta es de cruz latina, queda cerrada por detrás del altar y retablo mayor, de Josep Tremulles (siglo XVII), con un gran rosetón. Tiene además tres robustas naves y cinco capillas abacales, muy cerca del altar mayor se localizan las tumbas de Pere II el Gran (siglo XIII) por un lado, y de Jaume II y Blanca d'Anjou (siglo XV) por el otro. El cenobio convertido en panteón real por el primero de estos reyes fue fortificado durante los siglos XIV y XV. El monasterio conserva dos claustros, el de la entrada turística que es gótica y reemplazo uno de anterior románico, del cual sólo queda el templete del lavatorio.
