San Xoán de Poio monastery
San Xoán de Poio monastery, Benedictine monastery in Poio, Spain.
The monastery features two distinct cloisters, including a 16th-century procession cloister with starred vaulted ceilings and a Portuguese-style stone fountain.
Founded by San Fructuoso in the 7th century, the monastery gained substantial influence during the Middle Ages through gifts from individuals and monarchs.
The monastery library holds over 100,000 volumes, making it one of Spain's most substantial monastic collections of literary and historical documents.
Located at Plaza del Convento 2 in Poio, the monastery offers guided tours of its church, cloisters, refectory, exhibition rooms, and granary.
The monastery contains a 123-meter-long granary supported by three rows of pillars, representing one of the largest storage structures in Galicia.
