The monastery at Cogolla contains important remains testifying to the various architectural changes over the ages.
Of the present Suso ("from above") monastery, built between the 6th and 11th centuries, there are still some important remains that bear witness to the various architectural changes over the ages: the rock caves where the hermits lived and from which the monastery was built; the Mozarabic temple built in the 10th century, whose arches open out onto the valley; and the Visigothic and Romanesque remains. An important collection of manuscripts and codices came out of the scriptorium of the monastery, one of the most brilliant of the Middle Ages in Spain.

Ce monastère très ancien est vraiment exceptionnel ! Pour le visiter, il faut prendre le ticket au monastère de Yuso, puis prendre le bus (inclus) jusqu'au site, au milieu de la forêt. Il est aussi possible de s'y rendre à pied par des sentiers (conseillée pour la descente au retour si vous voulez prendre votre temps après la visite). La guide de visite était très agréable et l'explication fournie très intéressante. Ne manquez pas la visite de cet endroit unique.
