    The Monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla is a place of great importance in the La Rioja region of Spain. Founded in the 6th century AD by Saint Millán, this monastery has a rich history and a special connection with the Castilian language.

    The set formed by the monasteries of Suso (upper) and Yuso (lower) was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1997. Its value lies not only in its architectural heritage, with its Gothic cloister or royal sarcophagi, but in its cultural heritage by housing the codex where a monk wrote the first words in Spanish.

    The first monastery dates from the 11th century, but the complex and the entire town have evolved over the centuries to reach the splendor and atmosphere that they offer today.
