Monasteries of San Millán de la Cogolla, Monastic complex in San Millán de la Cogolla, Spain.
Two monasteries, Suso and Yuso, stand on different elevations along the Cárdenas River valley, featuring Gothic and Baroque architectural elements.
The Suso Monastery originated in the sixth century as a hermitage site, later expanding into a religious center during the medieval period.
The monasteries contain manuscripts that document the earliest written examples of the Spanish language, including the notable Glosas Emilianenses.
Guided tours of both monasteries require advance reservations, and visitors can reach the site by car from nearby cities in La Rioja region.
The Yuso Monastery functions as both an active religious institution and a hotel, allowing guests to stay within its historical walls.
