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.
