The Monastery of San Lorenzo de Carboeiro is one of the great landmarks of Galician Romanesque architecture, situated in a spectacular location beside the Deza River. It was an influential Benedictine monastery whose splendor flourished between the 11th and 13th centuries, and which today stands out as a restored jewel open to the public. Founded around the year 939, after Counts Gonzalo Betótez and Teresa Ériz acquired the former hermitage of a hermit named Egica. The consecration was attended by the Bishop of Lugo and Saint Rosendo.

Carboeiro Monastery, Romanesque route.

It began in the early years of the 10th century, year 936, on the property of a hermit named Egica, bought by the founders of the monastery, Doña Tareixa Eiriz and Don Gonzalo Betote, counts of Deza. It is in the year 939, when the work was completed, that the priest Félix was chosen as the first abbot of the community, and the convent was consecrated in the presence of the countess herself, her nephew San Rosende and the bishop of Lugo, Don Ero, remaining from this date under the royal protection of Ramiro I de Léon.

Saint Laurentius (San Lorenzo), patron saint of this old Benedictine monastery, is one of the early Christian martyrs from a time when Christianity was still forbidden. He was Archdeacon of the Pope and asked by the pagan emperor to hand over the treasure of the Church. Laurentius asked for three days, in the meantime distributed the church property among the poor inhabitants of Rome and after the agreed time came with the poor to the emperor to present them to him as the treasure of the church. He was then martyred to death, legend has it that he was alive on a grate - this attribute can be seen in many depictions of Saint Laurentius - roasted over coals. He is said to have been in good spirits and told his executioner on the one hand he was ready, whether he didn't want to turn him over. The memorial day of Saint Laurentius in the calendar of saints is August 10th.
