Founded in the 10th century, it is one of the most important monastic complexes in Galicia, combining Romanesque and Renaissance architecture. The monastery is part of a complex that includes the Castle of Monforte and offers panoramic views of the city. Its church stands out for its sobriety, while the Renaissance cloister is one of the most beautiful elements of the building. Today, part of the monastery has been converted into a tourist inn, allowing visitors to enjoy its history in a unique setting.
