| What is it? |
The monastery is now a luxury hotel in Carrión de los Condes! |
| What makes it historical? |
Founded by Gómez Díaz, one of Fernando I’s main courtiers, this tiny monastery quickly became one of the most powerful Benedictine monasteries in the kingdom! It contains the relics of Saints Félix and Zoilus. Since the time of the counts of Carrión, it has served as a place of healing for Pilgrims, first as a hospital, now as a luxury hotel! |
| HOW CAN I HELP KEEP IT HISTORICAL? |
IT’S EASY!
- You can spend a night at the hotel and contribute toward site maintenance, sign design, and other visitor services!
- You can be a responsible visitor! That means respecting the signs and pathways and treating all structures and artifacts with respect! After all, they’ve endured a lot already to make it into the present! They’ll need our help to make it to the future!
