Monastery of Santa María la Real in Obona, Romanesque monastery on Camino Primitivo in Tinéu, Spain

The Monastery of Santa María la Real features solid stone construction with rounded arches, exemplifying the transition between Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles.

Founded in 1168, the monastery began construction under Teresa Pérez's patronage, with initial community members arriving from the Tulebras monastery in Navarra.

The monastery contains valuable artifacts including 12th-century wooden carvings, 14th-century tombs, and a substantial section of lignum crucis religious relic.

The monastery opens daily from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM and 3:30 PM to 6:00 PM during winter months, with admission fees of 4 euros per person.

This monastery stands as Spain's only female religious institution featuring an ambulatory, marking its architectural distinction among Spanish Cistercian establishments.
