    This monastery is said to have been founded around the year 1200, at the same time as the city of Sarria, on the Camino de Santiago. It is traditionally said that two Italians, returning from their pilgrimage to Santiago, decided to found a monastery and hospital to serve pilgrims, where a chapel was already dedicated to San Blas. According to Marcos Quesada (prior of the monastery, in 1666) the settlement was founded in the thirteenth century by religious of the "Congregation of the Penance of the Martyrs of Christ" from Italy. The first documented news of this monastery and hospital is from 1219 and the commander is mentioned.
    In the 13th century the monastery was used as a hospital next to that of San Anton.

      The former monastery is now a pilgrims' hostel where you can spend the night.
