Abstract

The Royal Monastery of Santes Creus was declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest in 1921 and is currently a public heritage asset of the Generalitat de Catalunya. Hundreds of items of monastic origin of different materials and from various periods are stored within the monastery.

This article details the in-situ evaluation carried out on the deposits in the monastery. The main objective of this project was to decide whether the future application of the RE-ORG method, created by ICCROM, UNESCO and the CCI, would be necessary to optimize any measures of preventive conservation of its spaces. This method, a pioneer in the field of preventive conservation, is beginning to be introduced by Catalan public institutions.
