Monastery of Santa María la Real of Oseira
Monastery of Santa María la Real of Oseira, Trappist monastery in San Cristovo de Cea, Spain
The monastery combines Romanesque and Baroque architectural elements across three cloisters, featuring a grand staircase with 24 diamond-adorned steps.
Founded in 1137, the monastery underwent major reconstruction after a fire in 1552, leading to significant architectural modifications during the 16th and 17th centuries.
The monastery maintains active religious ceremonies and hosts the 'Las Edades del Hombre' exhibition, displaying religious art and cultural heritage in 2024.
Located 34 kilometers from Ourense city, the monastery offers guided tours, a guesthouse for overnight stays, and a store selling local products.
The chapterhouse contains distinctive twisted columns and palm tree-shaped arches, demonstrating exceptional stonework craftsmanship from medieval builders.
