Passed this place on my wanderings this afternoon.


Mosteiro de Sta. María de Monfero

1134 Started as a Benedictine Monastery
1146 Passed to the Cister order.
1177 Managed to get some money from the King Ferdinand II
1620 Main facade built
1835 Ceased being a Monastery.
1990 Facade and interior renovated.

The remainder of the Monastery is in bad shape.
