Hospedería Monasterio de Rueda



As for its architecture, the Monastery of Rueda maintains this Cistercian condition of humble architecture, far from ostentation. The complex has the typical Cistercian floor plan because the building was carried out by the monks themselves, the abbots of the monastery being in fact the architects in charge of the works. A great success in this work was that successive extensions in the 17th and 18th centuries extended around the monastery, leaving the original medieval nucleus intact, while the monks' cells, the spectacular Herrerian gallery and the abbey palace shaped San Pedro Square, forming the monumental entrance that we see today. Today, the Monastery of Rueda is shown in all its splendour to be rediscovered through a journey to its glorious past.
