Founded in 1142, this medieval monastery, located in the province of Orense, is a testament to the rich history and religious heritage of the region. The entrance, adorned with intricate stone carvings and a beautifully crafted door, invites visitors to explore the 12th-century architecture that lies beyond. Nestled in the lush Galician landscape, the monastery is surrounded by nature, with the rolling hills and verdant greenery providing a serene backdrop. The entrance is flanked by two statues of children, their faces etched with the passage of time, adding to the monastery's enchanting allure. The exterior of the monastery is a feast for the eyes, with its Gothic arches, intricate stonework, and sculptures of saints and religious symbols. The entrance niche, home to a statue of the Virgin Mary, is a particular highlight, offering a glimpse into the deep-rooted faith and devotion that has endured for centuries.
