The Monastery of Santa María de la Armedilla was a monastery of the Order of San Jerónimo, today in ruins, located about 3.8 kilometers from Cogeces del Monte. The monastery was founded after the chance discovery by shepherds of an image of the Virgin Mary in a cave excavated in the rock. This gave rise to a Marian cult in the place and the construction of the monastery. The proximity of quarries and plasterworks in the area facilitated its construction, as well as the water supply. 🏰🌿

In this location, it is believed that there was a medieval fortress that was razed by Abd al-Rahman III on August 8, 939, during his retreat towards the upper course of the Duero after the defeat of his troops in the “Battle of Simancas”. If you ever visit Tudela de Duero, you will be able to enjoy its natural beauty, its history and its cozy atmosphere. 🌿🏰

Built in the 15th century, the monastery was founded to house devotees of an effigy of the Virgin that appeared on the site.

Currently, only the belfry and two tangled Gothic vaults remain, with restoration plans.
