This gem of Romanesque architecture was built in 1135 under the patronage of Galician King Alfonso VII and incorporated into the Cistercian Order around 1170. It was carefully restored with full respect to the original structure. Following the Cistercian layout, all rooms are organised around a cloister combining impeccable history, warmth and functionality: kitchen, refectory, scriptorium, chapter house, stables and monks’ cells. It was one of the first seven monasteries of the thirty-eight that belonged to the Diocese of Compostela. It is now a historic hotel, declared a Historic-Artistic Monument in 1931 and considered a Site of Cultural Interest.
