Monastery in Cogolla to admire works of art, including a precious reliquary casket decorated with ivory figures.
Its construction is attributed to King García de Najera, who wanted to transfer the relics of San Millán to it. The imposing mass of the monastery of Yuso ("from below"), known as "El Escorial de la Rioja", is spread out below the hamlet. Its cloister is distinguished by the flamboyant (and Gothic) elegance of its ornaments and medallions. There are also some works of art on display in a small museum, including a precious 11th-century reliquary box decorated with ivory figures. The library is of primary importance from a monastic point of view.

C'est un beau monastère dans un beau et paisible site naturel. Il a des pièces littéraires intéressantes. Voys trouverez des guides dans les différentes salles qui vous expliquent le monument. La visite peut se combiner avec celle du monastère de Suso, plus ancien, retirée dans la forêt, qui mérite encore plus la visite.

Une visite très intéressante dans ce lieu d'où provient le manuscrit où est né le castilla. Le manuscrit original est à Madrid mais un fac-similé y est visible.
