Old monastery that is worth visiting and letting ourselves be guided to understand the greatness that the place had in another time and imagine how the Cistercian community that lived there lived
Despite its dilapidated state in some sector of the architectural complex, it has very beautiful corners such as the cloister, which is in perfect condition.

A Cistercian monastery founded in 1167 by Ponce de Minerva and Estefanía Ramírez. An example of the transition from Romanesque to Gothic, with a 12th-century church and later additions. Abandoned after the 19th-century confiscation of church property, it now blends ruined areas with preserved elements. The capitals of the western portal depict a monk writing, a cook, and a gatekeeper. This unusual sculpture reflects scenes of daily life in the monastery, beyond religious symbolism. It is listed on the Red List of Endangered Heritage. It is advisable to bring water and some food.
