The remains that currently survive date from the 13th century. Various reforms were made in the 17th century and it was finally abandoned by the monks in 1821, passing into private hands. It was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 1992, being restored and conditioned for visits by the Castilla-La Mancha Community Board in 2018.
Of the monastic complex, the apse, the sacristy, the transept and the southern nave of the church are preserved, as well as some walls of other dependencies.

It can be visited on weekends by appointment. The visit is guided if by me. It belongs to the network of archaeological parks of Castilla La Mancha

Abandoned Romanesque! Even so, it demonstrates the great splendor and beauty it had at the time. It is worth visiting the Bonaval Monastery and enjoying it.
