If you come here as a pilgrim, you should definitely take your time for the monastery and look at the interior. The large mosaic is just impressive!

In the Mercedarian monastery of San Juan de Poio, the church built in the 17th century stands out and reflects the taste for the combination of classicist and baroque forms. Inside there is a beautiful altarpiece from the 18th century, in Churrigueresque style, and in the left nave is the sepulcher of Santa Trahamunda (very revered in the municipality). The processions cloister (16th century) is also noteworthy, with a Baroque fountain and an original staircase. And the cloister of the cross (18th century) with its impressive 200 m2 mosaic of the Camino de Santiago. of length.

Also worth noting is its library, the mosaic museum, the "Escola de Canteiros" or the venue for the Summer University courses. At present, the convent is dedicated to a tourist hostel run by the monks.
