Impressive 11th century religious building that has been home to a community of Benedictine monks ever since. The monastery is famous for its Gregorian chant, which has been recorded on numerous records. It is also known for its library, which contains medieval manuscripts and important historical documents. The Monastery of Santo Domingo de Silos is a place of great historical and cultural interest. Highly recommended to visit this spectacular temple.
