Sobrado dos Monxes is a small town in Spain, in the province of A Coruña in Galicia. The town is best known for its monastery, the Monastery of Sobrado dos Monxes, which is still active and well worth a visit. The monastery is an impressive example of medieval and Baroque architecture, with a majestic church, three cloisters, a chapter house, refectory, kitchen, sacristy and library. Visitors can walk in the same stones that monks have trodden for centuries, and admire the monastery's many artistic and historical treasures. The facade of the church is particularly striking and strange, with reliefs designed to create dynamism and lighting effects. The monastery is also renowned for its hospitality to pilgrims, with a hostel and bicycle storage room. The Sobrado dos Monxes Monastery is a must-see for lovers of history and architecture.
