    One of my favorite places in Soria. Pure magic that deserves a visit. The originality of the Monastery of San Juan de Duero makes it one of the most recognized and representative jewels of the Spanish Romanesque.

    Declared a national monument in August 1882, it stands out for its impressive cloister, which preserves a collection of styles in its most surprising execution. Romanesque, Mudejar, Arab shake hands in their arches, adding to their beauty the uniqueness of being different from each other.
    The originality of this cloister makes it unique in Spain... How about a visit?
    It was built by the Order of the Hospitallers of San Juan de Acre, between the 12th and 13th centuries, on the outskirts of the city of Soria, next to the Duero River.
    Of the old Romanesque monastery of San Juan de Duero, only the church and a splendid cloister with mixed influences remain.
    It is a cloister with a quadrangular open-air structure of which we highlight its four arches of different order, which are surprising for their crisscrossing and the capitals sculpted with medieval fantasy.

    The church is simple, with a single nave and a semicircular apse, the nave is closed with a pointed barrel vault and the apse with a furnace vault.

      A magical monument that even today refuses to reveal its mysteries.
      It has always been considered a cloister, but today that theory is questioned since it was never covered.
      I highly recommend visiting if possible as admission is only €1 and is free on Saturdays.
