The monastery owes its name to the relic that, extracted from the holy crown of Christ, has been housed in one of its chapels for almost nine centuries. Today it is still an object of veneration.

Sanctuary dating from the 12th century that receives its name because Luis the Younger gave away a thorn from the crown of our Lord. Like many others, this building was built at different times and underwent notable reforms.
