The Town

Discover Samos

Samos, nestled in a serene valley of the province of Lugo, is an almost obligatory detour for pilgrims on the Camino Francés seeking a deep spiritual and cultural experience. The life of this town revolves around its grand Monastery of San Xulián de Samos, a Benedictine abbey whose origins date back to the 6th century. This impressive monastery, one of the oldest in Western Europe, captivates with its two magnificent cloisters, one Gothic and another Neoclassical, and its monumental Baroque church. Still inhabited by monks, the monastery offers Masses and visits that allow the pilgrim to immerse themselves in centuries of history and prayer. Surrounded by forests and bathed by the Sarria River, Samos is a true haven of peace, ideal for reflection and rest.
