En los antiguos monasterios benedictinos se situaba en la panda (galería) occidental del claustro, llamada por este motivo panda de la cilla. En los monasterios cistercienses, la cilla no daba directamente a la panda, sino que se interponía el corredor de conversos.
Era una estancia de planta rectangular, generalmente con dos alturas y con ventanas en sus muros este y oeste. A veces, se disponía una puerta amplia para pasar carros con las provisiones. Solía estar abovedada y en la mayoría de los casos, se construía con dos naves divididas por columnas.
En el piso bajo, normalmente dividido por tabiques, se almacenaban las frutas y cereales, así como la bodega del monasterio.

In the old Benedictine monasteries it was located in the western panda (gallery) of the cloister, called panda de la cilla for this reason. In the Cistercian monasteries, the cilla did not directly face the group, but rather the corridor of converts was in the way.
It was a rectangular room, generally with two floors and with windows on its east and west walls. Sometimes, a wide gate was provided to pass carts with supplies. It used to be vaulted and in most cases, it was built with two naves divided by columns.
On the ground floor, normally divided by partitions, fruits and cereals were stored, as well as the monastery cellar.
