Rueda Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Sástago, Spain.
The Monastery of Rueda stands on the banks of the Ebro River, featuring Gothic cloisters, a church, and a Mudejar tower within its stone walls.
Construction of the monastery started in 1202 after King Alfonso II granted the land to Cistercian monks, with the church consecration occurring in 1238.
The monastery follows Cistercian architectural principles with minimalist design, emphasizing functionality through its layout of church, dormitories, refectory, and work areas.
The monastery operates guided tours through Tourism of Aragón and includes a four-star hotel within its restored medieval buildings.
An 18-meter water wheel system transported water from the Ebro River throughout the monastery, supporting agricultural activities and daily monastic life.
