Monastery of Sopetrán, Benedictine monastery in Torre del Burgo and Hita, Spain
The stone walls of the Monastery of Sopetrán stretch across both Torre del Burgo and Hita municipalities, with southern and eastern wings still standing.
The monastery's foundations were established in 1001, marking the beginning of a significant religious presence in the Guadalajara region of medieval Spain.
The monastery holds national recognition as a Cultural Heritage Asset and stands as a testament to Spanish Benedictine architectural traditions.
The monastery remains can be visited throughout the year, with annual pilgrimages taking place each September at the nearby memorial chapel.
A sacred well beneath the monastery's altar continues to draw visitors, maintaining centuries-old traditions of religious observance.
