Monastery of Santa María de San Salvador

Highlight • Religious Site

This monastery, whose construction began in the 12th century, is the first female Cistercian community to settle in the Iberian Peninsula. The complex was not completed until the 20th century itself, when the rooms where the nuns live today were built. Its architectural evolution gives it traces of Romanesque, Gothic and Neoclassical styles that make it a very unique complex.

It is located a short distance from San Millán de la Cogolla and framed in what is now known as the route of the monasteries in La Rioja.

San Millán de la Cogolla Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

The complex formed by the monasteries of Suso (high) and Yuso (low) was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997. Its value lies not only in its architectural heritage, with its Gothic cloister or royal sarcophagi, but also in its cultural heritage by housing the codex where a monk wrote the first words in Spanish.

The first monastery dates back to the 11th century, but the complex and the entire town have evolved over the centuries until reaching the splendor and atmosphere that they offer today.

Monastery of Suso

Highlight • Religious Site

Suso (from the Latin sursum) means "up", and is how this oldest monastery is known. Yuso (from the Latin deorsum) means “below” and is the other name by which the more modern Monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla is known.

Both were declared in 1997 by UNESCO, World Heritage, World Heritage. It is an exciting place, full of history and mystery. The guided tour (€4) includes the bus ride.
