    The complex formed by the monasteries of Suso (high) and Yuso (low) was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997. Its value lies not only in its architectural heritage, with its Gothic cloister or royal sarcophagi, but also in its cultural heritage by housing the codex where a monk wrote the first words in Spanish.

    The first monastery dates back to the 11th century, but the complex and the entire town have evolved over the centuries until reaching the splendor and atmosphere that they offer today.
