Ruins of what was a monastery of the Order of San Jerónimo dating from the 15th century. Although you can only go around it from the outside, it is beautiful to visit since it gives rise to the imagination of what this sanctuary would have been.

Built in the 15th century, the monastery was founded to house devotees of an effigy of the Virgin that appeared on the site. Initially entrusted to the Cistercians, it later passed into the hands of the Order of Saint Jerome. The monastery was frequented by prominent figures, such as the Dukes of Alburquerque. Currently, only the belfry and two tangled Gothic vaults remain, with restoration plans.

The Monastery of Santa María de la Armedilla was a monastery of the Order of San Jerónimo, today in ruins, located about 3.8 kilometers from Cogeces del Monte. The monastery was founded after the chance discovery by shepherds of an image of the Virgin Mary in a cave excavated in the rock. This gave rise to a Marian cult in the place and the construction of the monastery. The proximity of quarries and plasterworks in the area facilitated its construction, as well as the water supply. 🏰🌿
