West Facade
Founded in 1147, Silvacane Abbey is the newest of the Cistercian monasteries known as the Three Sisters of Provence. Its name means "forest of reeds," after the landscape in which it was built. The church was constructed from 1175 to 1230; the cloister was added between 1250 and 1300. Image credit: David Joyal
