Sta. María la Real - Centro de Estudios del Románico Reviews

Arrive after hours. Being treated with smiles, good character, open cafeteria for four people and a really cozy atmosphere, are the reason for this comment. To the girls at the reception and the one who attended us in the cafeteria. THANK YOU, WE WILL COME BACK !!!!!

The beautiful hostel, especially the gardens but we slept fatally. We went on June 1, it was still not hot and you could not sleep in the room of the heat so unbearable that it was inside. The beds are located at a double height and the window is at the bottom, where the bathroom and TV are located. We had to sleep on the ground floor because although it was cold outside, there is no cross ventilation and heat builds up in the bed area. Unbearable. I don't come back, it's not worth it.

Excellent monastery and good remodeling by Peridis. A shame not being able to do the guided tour, for another ...

I really liked the Monastery and also the explanations of the guided tour

Wonderful reconstruction work by Peridis. A magnificent show of light and sound in the church.

The guided tour is highly recommended. We have enjoyed the history of the monastery and its architectural elements.

Many options to share with quite acceptable quality and very well served

Very interesting models to know the Romanesque. Interesting the recovery of the building for use as an institute

Lovely site and lovely guide, all very well explained
Worth seeing

Charming, although it takes a little more information and attention for visits

Regular attention and without meeting the established schedule. Anyway the site is great.

Romanesque church, monastery and cloister, very well restored. Ticket 2 euros.

A collegiate fall in abandonment and fatality. Nobody would bet that their walls and their openings could again be filled with use and life. However, the enthusiasm of some people has given a second life to this ancient monastery and we can still imagine what life was like for monks in their daily life. The guided tour takes us to the different fundamental moments in the history of the Collegiate Church and we leave the place with the satisfaction that abandonment has not had the last word

Beautiful representation of the Romanesque Palentino

With a guided tour a wonder
10 to the guide
Book as the groups have been reduced

It is worth doing the guided tour, you learn a lot about the Romanesque. The exceptional guide !!

A great rehabilitation, a beautiful monastery, the very professional guide

Interesting visit, a great rehabilitation of the building. The guide explains singularities and differences with other monasteries that could possibly go unnoticed on their own ... but half the time it consists of an "audiovisual" in the church that contributes absolutely nothing.

Very beautiful and very careful and you eat well, this is a beautiful town in Aguilar de Campoo.

The intervention to restore this building was considerable and there are results for all tastes. On the one hand, the finish is functional, which allows it to be used as a teaching institute, or the refectory, converted into an assembly hall. But on the other, there are areas that remain practically intact, such as the cloister, which preserves even the original floor.

very nice the town pity I could not see the monastery by denteo

Environment, attention, excellent food, highly recommended

how impressive is the heritage that this country has. Highly recommended to do the guided tour

If you are near Aguilar de Campoo, you can not miss it

Monastery converted into a secondary school, although only in part. The guided tour is essential to understand the process of restoration and second use of the building.

I really liked a building with history and used as an institute today. I loved the guy who explains it, it's great.

Good guided tour, great history of the Monastery, very well preserved. Recommended to be visited

It is worth visiting for every person who likes the peace that is breathed and the Christian love of the life of recollection of the place.

Very good conservation and restoration. Currently it also houses an Institute that delights to study there and what a good way to preserve a building.

Very nice and very nice guides, the explanation of the guide inside I loved

Great work by Peridis
Excellent treatment guides and very professional

Everything a discovery for us. Very friendly staff very good professionals.

Incorrect information on its website, when it said it was open we arrived and closed

Converted into an education center, it is still possible to visit its wonderful cloister and the church. Nestled in a wonderful environment, it deserves a walk from the town to its enclave.

Reference place for lovers of the medieval world, for its seminars, courses, publications ...
An example to follow for the rest of the communities, for the defense and optimization that make a fantastic heritage.

We have done the guided tour and we loved it. This way we have gotten much more juice out of the visit. Also, the guide has answered all of our questions. Impressive the state in which it was before undertaking the restoration.

I have loved the restoration, that it is an Institute .... beautiful. The second time I see it. Congratulations to Peridis. I always follow him on the radio.

It is a more Romanesque than Gothic monastery. Beautiful and that is currently used as a secondary school. The guided tour is worth it.

The monastery has been restored and it is worth entering to know a part of our history. The guided tours in the afternoon are at 4, at 5 and at 6, they last one hour. You can also visit faster without a guide.
Next to the monastery there is a part where you can sleep and eat at a great price

The guided tour is not adequate with the price they make you pay. They barely explain the interior of the monastery and why I was able to go to the bathroom I could see the upper part there were cells. They start 5 minutes late.

Because "Even a ruin can be a hope", I love the restoration they have made and the utility they have given the building.

We did the guided tour. We loved it. It was very entertaining and educational, and the guide was very attentive and friendly. I end with a video, with a few little visual effects. The area is a must.

The treatment and the cleanliness especially halima the best

Very cool, another monument to enjoy, in Spain we have many and precious

Beautiful and very well preserved. Although the original capitals are all in the archaeological museum of Madrid. A shame

A lovely place visited with a fantastic monastery guide

It does not deserve anything, at all, not even remotely worth paying 4 to enter to see the cloister and the church, today it is an institute and the walls are full of graffiti, a shame. The cloister is really nice but I still keep the above.

It is of great interest from an architectural point of view.
Although it has been rebuilt, there are many sectors that allow us to identify the Romanesque of the 1100/1200.
It can be identified in the photos beauties of Romanesque art.

Because it is a monastery former convent from the twelfth century. It is spectacular and large through which different orders passed. In itself it is of a mixed Romanesque and Baroque style but more remains in the former. Its deformed arches and columns add to the emotion of its rise and its capitals are different.

As a great study place, as a regular artistic site for the hodgepodge of things

If you can, be sure to visit it and take the guided tour

It is very exciting to see the reconstruction of a completely ruined monastery, which returns to recover not only its walls but its cultural life. Great Peridis !!

Magnificent, impressive and beautiful. The best that can be seen

Reconstruction is very good and part of the building is dedicated to teaching.

Very interesting. Guided tour where the mixture of architectural styles is shown. Audiovisual show inside the church
