Monasterio de San Julián de Samos

The monastery stands in a valley with two cloisters, including the Cloister of Father Feijoo measuring 54 meters and the Gothic Cloister of the Nereids.

Founded in the sixth century by Martin of Braga, the monastery received protection from King Fruela I of Asturias and expanded its influence across hundreds of locations.

The monastery functions as a School of Theology and Philosophy, maintaining religious education traditions through its Benedictine community since the tenth century.

Visitors can explore the monastery through guided tours that include access to the cloisters, frescoes, and the thirteenth-century church entrance.

The library contains 25,000 volumes, while the Chapel of Cyprus features a ninth-century Mozarabic style with a trapezoidal structure.
