Discover Sobrado dos Monxes

Sobrado dos Monxes is a Coruñesa locality whose visit is indispensable on the North Way. Its fame is due to its grandiose Monastery of Saint Mary, one of the most important Cistercian abbeys in Galicia. Declared Historic-Artistic Monument, the ensemble impresses with its monumental baroque church, three cloisters and a capitular hall. The monastery, still inhabited by a monastic community, offers a atmosphere of peace and contemplation. For the pilgrim, it is a place of great spiritual and artistic impact. The locality, born under the monastery's protection, provides all necessary services, including an albergue in the monastic dependencies, making the stay unforgettable.
