Monasterio Santa María La Real de Valdediós, Villaviciosa

Geschichte

The monastery has a royal foundation (hence the name Santa María La Real). Dating to the 13th century, it was inhabited by the Cistercian Order until 1836 when the monks were forced to leave by the laws of the Desamortización, the suppression of all monastic orders.

Following the arrival of the Cistercian and Benedictine orders and the increased importance of the Pilgrim's Way to Santiago de Compostela, the somewhat late Asturian Romanesque style began its development. The monastery is a fine example of that singular architecture. Other similar structures include the Monastery of San Salvador de Cornellana and the churches of San Antolín de Bedón and San Pedro de Villanueva.
