Saint John Monastery

Local name: Monasterio de San Juan

The first monastery buildings were erected in this place in the 11th century, when King Alfonso VI gave the land to monk Lesmes (he became the first prior). In the mid-nineteenth century, the monks were banished from the monastery, which began to serve as barracks, hospice, and later prison.
