    The Monasterio de Santo Domingo de Silos is considered to be one of the most culturally and historically significant monasteries in Spain. If you are lucky, during a visit to the monastery you will be able to enjoy the world-famous Gregorian chants of the monks, who still cultivate and practice them today as ever. An album released by the monks was in the US charts for 53 weeks and went platinum three times.

    In this monastery you will find the oldest or most ancient (that's where the spirits argue) Romanesque cloister with very beautiful pillars and reliefs. One should look at the details.
