The new Metzler organ in the Poblet monastery (2012), built by the Swiss firm Metzler Orgelbau AG and financed by the Catalunya Caixa Foundation, is located at the back of the abbey church (12th century), above the main entrance. Both its conception and its construction are unprecedented in Spain. It was blessed on November 24, 2012 by Fr. José Alegre Vilas, abbot of Poblet, and the inaugural concert took place on December 7, 2012 by Olivier Latry, titular organist of the Notre-Dame Cathedral. Give me from Paris. It replaces the Alberdi electric transmission organ built in 1961, located in the second arch after the transept, on both sides of the choir, divided into two bodies, and dismantled in 2011 due to its state of deterioration
