However, other documents show that it already existed in 1035. Since then, of course, the monastery has gone through a lot: expansions and calamities, dark times, including epidemics and confiscations, and also glorious eras. What you see there today is the result of restoration work carried out in recent decades. Currently, the monastery can only be seen from the inside with a guided tour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_122824-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12809\" title=\"Inside the monastery of Cru\u00eflles\" src=\"https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_122824-498x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_122824-498x1024.jpg 498w, https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_122824-146x300.jpg 146w, https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_122824-768x1580.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_122824-747x1536.jpg 747w, https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_122824-996x2048.jpg 996w, https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_122824-scaled.jpg 1244w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_125643-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12810\" title=\"Inside the monastery of Cru\u00eflles\" src=\"https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_125643-498x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_125643-498x1024.jpg 498w, https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_125643-146x300.jpg 146w, https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_125643-768x1580.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_125643-747x1536.jpg 747w, https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_125643-996x2048.jpg 996w, https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_125643-scaled.jpg 1244w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_130449-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12811\" title=\"Inside the monastery of Cru\u00eflles\" src=\"https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_130449-146x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_130449-146x300.jpg 146w, https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_130449-498x1024.jpg 498w, https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_130449-768x1580.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_130449-747x1536.jpg 747w, https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_130449-996x2048.jpg 996w, https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_130449-scaled.jpg 1244w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_134150-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12812\" title=\"Inside the monastery of Cru\u00eflles\" src=\"https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_134150-146x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_134150-146x300.jpg 146w, https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_134150-498x1024.jpg 498w, https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_134150-768x1580.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_134150-747x1536.jpg 747w, https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_134150-996x2048.jpg 996w, https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250405_134150-scaled.jpg 1244w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">From the monastery you can see the town of Cru\u00eflles, which rises on a gentle hill.
