The Monastery of Santa María la Real is a Romanesque building built for the most part between the 12th and 13th centuries. During the Middle Ages it became one of the main centers of artistic and cultural irradiation in the area. It was inhabited by Premonstratensian monks until the confiscation of Mendizábal, when it was declared abandoned. For this reason, the following year, 1866, it was declared a National Monument, a fact that did not prevent most of its capitals from being taken to the MAN. It will not be until 1978 when the restoration and rehabilitation works are really effective, leaving a space shared by an Institute, the ROM, Romanesque and Territory exhibition center (a new concept to show Romanesque art) and the Library of the Santa María la Real Foundation.

After eating at the Posada del Monasterio, what better idea than to visit it. It can be done on your own or on a guided tour (at the hour), and in both cases you can see a video of the history of the place. Very interesting
