Founded in the s. X by a group of Mozarabic monks, this monastery is the last preserved of the Zamora Cistercian buildings. Consolidated in the s. XII on a possible ancient Visigothic foundation, this late Romanesque monastery with a Renaissance façade embedded in the 16th century. XVI, still presides over Lake Sanabria. It is visitable, having a museum of sacred art and the well-preserved church.
