Image of Vilanova d'Escornalbou, not of the place itself.

The diplomat and scholar from Reus bought in 1910 the ruins of the castle-monastery and rehabilitated them as a residence, saving the complex from disappearance. Earlier he had excavated in Egypt and afterwards he directed the restoration of Poblet.
