Monasterio de Nuestra Señora de Vico, Trappist nunnery in Arnedo, Spain.
The Monasterio de Nuestra Señora de Vico is a Trappist nunnery set near the Cidacos River, built with traditional religious architecture designed for contemplative living. The grounds contain prayer rooms, residential quarters, and workshops where the community carries out its daily activities.
The monastery was founded in 1456 by Lope de Salazar y Salinas and became an important center of religious life in the region. In 1835, government policies forced it to close temporarily, though it eventually resumed operations.
The nuns here live by strict rules of silence and simplicity, spending their days in prayer, handwork, and creating artisanal goods. The rhythm of daily life follows scheduled prayer times that shape the monastic community.
The monastery offers information about visiting hours and opportunities to participate in spiritual retreats. It is best to check ahead for visiting availability and to respect the community's guidelines regarding silence and conduct.
The nuns produce handcrafted goods that support the monastery's self-sufficiency and are available for visitors to purchase. These artisanal items offer a direct connection to the community's daily work and spiritual practice.
