It is without doubt one of the most remarkable Christian monuments in Spain. Its jewel is the 11th-century Romanesque cloister, one of the most beautiful in Spain, and its legendary century-old cypress tree. The monks' manecantry is considered one of the best in the world: their album of Gregorian chants Canto was distributed in 1994 by EMI to more than 6 million copies worldwide, causing a massive influx of tourists and journalists to the singing monks.
