The monastery was founded in the 12th century by the Knights of Don Ero de Armenteira. The Don came from an aristocratic family and accompanied Alphonso VII on his battles against Hispanic Islam in the south of Spain. In 1150, he retreated to his estate and founded the monastery, adopting the austere spiritual life inspired by St. Bernard of Clairvaux and the newly created Cistercian Order. According to legend, during one of Ero’s meditations in the nearby woods, he became engrossed listening to the sweet song of a bird for what seemed like a few minutes. When he returned to the monastery, centuries, not minutes, had passed. He was the first Abbot of Armenteira and as a result of his devotion and piety eventually became St. Ero.
