Rioseco Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Valle de Manzanedo, Spain
The stone walls of the monastery stand near the Ebro River, featuring a Gothic church, a Herrera-style cloister, and multiple architectural structures from different periods.
Founded in 1236, the monastery reached its peak during the 14th century as one of the most influential Cistercian establishments in Castile before its decline in 1835.
The monastery complex includes a chapter house, granary storage, and agricultural facilities that demonstrate the self-sufficient lifestyle of medieval Cistercian communities.
Volunteer groups organize free guided tours during summer months and coordinate restoration activities to preserve the remaining structures of the monastery complex.
The monastery contains a preserved spiral staircase and church vaults with traces of original color patterns that reveal medieval construction techniques.
