Monastery of Santo Estevo de Ribas de Sil, Medieval Benedictine abbey in Nogueira de Ramuín, Spain.
The Monastery of Santo Estevo de Ribas de Sil sits above the Sil River, featuring three cloisters in Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance architectural styles.
The monastery's documented history began in 921 when King Ordoño II granted Abbot Franquila permission to restore monastic life at the abandoned site.
Nine bishops chose this monastery as their residence during the 10th century, leaving their episcopal seats to dedicate themselves to monastic life.
The monastery operates as a Parador hotel, located 28 kilometers from Ourense, offering guided tours from Wednesday to Sunday between 10:00 AM and 8:00 PM.
The monastery's three distinct cloisters showcase different architectural periods, with the Bishops' Cloister containing the original burial sites of medieval religious leaders.
