Monasterio San Juan Bautista, Valfermoso de Las Monjas

Historia

The monastery was founded in 1186 by a Benedictine community which settled here during the Reconquista, the time when Christians reconquered the land from the Arabs. ”As the Reconquista advanced, monasteries were founded,” the madre explained. The nuns lived uninterruptedly until 1936 when a fire (during the Civil War) completely destroyed the complex and the valuable artwork accumulated over the course of seven centuries. The monastery has been entirely rebuilt. ”It is a pretty building but it is the nature around us that is the most beautiful,” the madre continued.
