Located close to the small town of Santa Cristina de Aro there is a monastery of Santa Maria de Solius, famous for its exhibition of Nativity miniatures, depicting scenes from the birth of Jesus Christ and created by caring hands of Cistercian monks from the monastery.
The miniatures are made of gypsum plaster; in their manufacture, the exteriors of real houses from various cities were reproduced; pleasant surprise to identify your home in the Nativity scene!
