We made the 45-minute drive early in the morning to get ahead of the buses of tourists that journey there every day. Once we arrived, we climbed - after all, the abbey is on the top of a mount - through the town to the abbey itself. And people have been doing this since the 8th Century, this being a place of pilgrimmage.
David's post is more extensive, so I've posted some photographs that show details of the abbey and its buildings.
A capital in the abbey.

Sculptures of foliage on the sprandrels in the cloister.
Columns in the cloisters.
Windows in the refectory.
Vaults.
