Temple

The church of Santa María de la Caridad de Tulebras was built at the end of the 12th century, being the only evidence that has survived to the present day, due to the numerous improvements that have been carried out at different times. Of the medieval rooms, only the general aspect of the floor plan is preserved. The temple is conceived as a single long and narrow nave, with a deviated axis in the last sections, to which a semicircular chevet is attached. Each of the five bays is marked by pilasters that run along the side walls to which are attached half-suspended columns, columns that do not rest directly on the ground but are interrupted at an average height. The capitals, in the Cistercian tradition, are plain or with schematic leaves and palmettes with pine cones.

El ábside es semicircular y en él se abren tres ventanas abocinadas de medio punto, con doble arco, al exterior sobre columnillas de capiteles decorados por flora cisterciense a excepción de uno de ellos que presenta motivos de cestería. Otras ventanas se abren en los muros del templo y finalmente en el muro de los pies un rosetón moldurado. Recorre la iglesia en todo su perímetro una cornisa interrumpida tan sólo por las ventanas. Las reformas realizadas tanto del templo como de la cubierta, claustro y sala capitular se deben al arquitecto Pedro Vergés.
