Original 1810 engraving of the entrance to the monastery of Poblet (Tarragona): the two towers of the Royal Gate flanking the entrance arch and the crenellated curtain wall. An impression from Laborde's Voyage pittoresque. Poblet appears here intact, a quarter of a century before the suppression and sacking of 1835.
