Tradition
has it that King Alfonso I 'The Catholic' constructed this building on
21 February 746, and the excavations carried out at the start of the refurbishing
work to turn it into a Parador de Turismo confirm this idea
The current
monastery was founded on this site and run by the Order of San Benito until
the Desamortización de 1835. Two rooms with archeological
remains, pottery in particular, were uncovered during the refurbishing
work are testament to this distant past. The monastery was declared a National
Monument in 1907, and features an added wing of perfectly harmonious architectural
and constructional qualities.
